Hi,

Try to P/Invoke the good old PostThreadMessage API function. You cannot use
PostMessage since you don't have a window.
 
Hi,

Ok, since I began writing this post, I have figured out the majority of
my problem. I started out without a clue about how to use messages in my
application (not referring to System.Messaging, but to good old windows
messages). I want a Win32 application that runs without a window. I
figured out how to add a message filter to the application before calling
Application.Run(). That solves the problem of catching the message. Now I
cannot, for the life of me, find any references to how to put a message on
the application queue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Chris
 
Actually you can use PostMessage. Just set the hWnd parameter to null and it
will
post it to the current thread. See the docs for more info
