From: http://www.cnblogs.com/yinner/archive/2007/11/16/961394.html? Login = 1 # commentform message refers to a notification sent by windows to tell the application that something has happened. For example, if you click the mouse, change the window size, or press a key on the keyboard, Windows will send a message to the application. The message itself is passed to the application as a record, which contains the Message Type and other information. For example, for a message generated by clicking the mouse, this record contains the coordinates of the mouse. This record type is called tmsg, which is declared in a Windows unit as follows:

Type
Tmsg = packed record
Hwnd: hwnd; // window handle
Message: uint; // message constant identifier
Wparam: wparam; // additional information of a 32-bit message
Lparam: lparam; // additional information of a 32-bit message
Time: DWORD; // the time when the message was created.
PT: tpoint; // The cursor position when the message is created
End;

What are messages? Do you think the information in a message record is the same as that in Greek? If so, let's take a look at the following explanation:
Hwnd 32-bit window handle. Windows can be any type of screen objects, because Win32 can maintain the handles of most visual objects (Windows, dialog boxes, buttons, edit boxes, etc ).
Message is used to distinguish the constant values of other messages. These constants can be pre-defined constants in Windows units or custom constants.
Wparam is a message-related constant value, or a handle to a window or control.
Lparam is usually a pointer to data in the memory. Since wparam, lparam, and pointer are both three or two bits, they can be converted to each other.
