Returns 0 if successful. 1 if the parent cannot be found, 2 if a child cannot be found, 3 if an index referenced in the message does not exist, 4 if childinfo is malformed on childtitle, 5 if childinfo is malformed on childinstance, 6 if childinfo is malformed on childflags, 7 if messages is malformed on msg, 8 if messages is malformed on wparam, 9 if messages is malformed on lparam

Use this function to playback complicated sequences of Windows messages to multiple dynamic Windows processes and handles. Use the PowerHome Object Spy window to assist in creating functions of this type.

The childinfo parameter contains 0 or more child process "indexes", each index entry containing class, title, instance, and flags all separated by tabs. The parent is considered index 1 with the first child entry considered index 2. See ph_locatehandle for an explanation of the childinfo entries. A typical childinfo entry containing two indexes may look like this: "Notepad~tUntitled - Notepad~t0~t7~tEdit~t~t0~t3~t".

The messages parameter consists of 1 or more messages to be sent to an index. Each individual message consists of 4 parameters separated by commas. These parameters are: index, msgnum, wparam, and lparam.
