		// PostMessage is very similar to SendMessage. They both send a message to the given
		// handle / window, the difference being that SendMessage sends the message and waits
		// for the window to "handle" the message and return a return code. PostMessage on the
		// other hand simply posts the message and returns instantly, whether the window
		// handles the message or not, we don't care.

		static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			// First, read the handle from the console, remember this has to be in HEX format!
			int handle = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine(), NumberStyles.HexNumber);

			// Now we'll send the WM_SETTEXT message to the window, passing the text
			// through the lParam parameter.
			SendMessage(handle, WM_SETTEXT, 0, "http://www.improve.dk");
			Console.WriteLine("Text set!");

			// Now send a message telling the Edit box that the Return key has been pressed,
			// resulting in Internet Explorer navigating to the page.
			PostMessage(handle, WM_KEYDOWN, VK_RETURN, 1);
			Console.WriteLine("Return keypress sent!");

			// And we're done
