I am trying to pass messages between various windows. At first I was trying to use FindWindow() to obtain the handles of various windows, but my results always came up as 0. So I decided to try just getting the handle of the calling window through GetActiveWindow(). Again, the result is 0. Why is this not working? Script code posted below:
