sendmessage ?? way to hard i think...help please

need some help with send message. i used spy++ to find the handle of a box that i wanted to send to i tried to put this in quotes and put that in the first parameter but it never sends anything. my parameters were "handle",WM_SETTEXT,0,"hello" not sure what im doing wrong and the help file is useless anyhelp would be great thanks

if you are using the SendMessage function be sure to put ByVal on the last parameter like this....

SendMessage lHwnd, WM_SETTEXT, 0, ByVal "Hello"
