I am using SendMessageA to send a command to WinAmp and it works, The Open
File(s)
is opening but my program halts until I press the Open or Cancel button. I
think my program is waiting for a returned value that is sent from WinAmp
when the Cancel or Open button is pressed.

I have a problem with this because I am using a remote to execute this
command so after I have done that I want to be able to use my remote to move
and press the mouse button so I can select a file... But because my program
halts until I have pressed the Open or Close button I cant use the remote to
move the mouse and open a file... I have to GO to the computer and do it
manually...

Plz help me with this, otherwise I might get exercise running to my
computer.. :P

Call SendMessageA(WinAMPhWnd, WM_COMMAND, WINAMP_FILE_PLAY, 0)

Yours, Jonas
