C++ to AutoIT _sendmessage translation help, please..

[dewild1]

Hello, I have been staring at help for a few hours, and I searched the forum... I am lost...

Original C++

SendMessage(HWND_BROADCAST,WM_SETTINGCHANGE,0,LongInt(Pchar('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SearchHidden)));

In AHK it is, (I think)

setting:="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\SearchHidden" 
SendMessage,0x001A,0,&setting, , ahk_id 0xffff

What would it be in AutoIT??

Thank you very much.

Dude, thank you.

I look forward to trying it when I get home, (out in the ambulance with my family). The way you laid it out, is really helping me understand it.

Thank you.

This programming stuff is hard for me, I have the attention span of a puppy dog on crack.
