The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) Deviant Profile I recommend viewing the executable /kojak/CGI/SendMessage (more /kojak/CGI/SendMessage). Like most of these executables, there have lots of readable text near the bottom. This one has a list of commands it can perform. I discovered this by viewing the /data/Browser/history.html file which shows all browser history, including the Channels and other system requests that use SendMessage to perform actions. Example, in the browser type: http://localhost/cgi-bin/SendMessage?M=LAUNCH_CHANNEL_SELECTOR and it will! Other phrases I've seen included those to add email, url, etc. to addressbook, plus a few more. (DISMISS_ACTION_PALETTE,COMPOSE_EMAIL,ADD_EVENT_TO_CALENDAR,...) Have fun, Deviant 09-08-2001 12:10:55

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile deviant: yup, as i mentioned to robert in another thread, never underestimate the value of dumping a binary executable file. if you're using a linux or QNX RTP box, FTP the file there, and use the 'strings SendMessage' command to dump all of these out. i'm using the frhed.exe hex editor for Windoze to scan selected utilities. keep digging around, and don't forget to post any particularly interesting or useful text you find. someone else could always understand and/or use something you find... keith721 09-08-2001 13:18:00

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) rseidl Profile nice ! Does Sendmessage allow additional parameters ? That way you could completely create a calendar event, email etc. from a web page I tried <a href="mailto:who@where.com?subject=bla&body=bla"> It takes the subject ok, not the body. Also, this method obviously doesnt work for Calendar, address book. Thanks for the truffles, file sniffers !

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) keith721 Profile robert: and thank YOU for collecting, cleaning up, and un-geek-ing some of these threads on your web site. i really appreciate your site, because it's clean, straight-forward, and easy to read. sooner or later, our user guide / configuration manual for Audrey will be large enough for PDF format, and between your site, sowbug's page, and nata2's audreyhacking.com, we'll have a good spread of valuable information for audrey users with different levels of expertise. thanks again for helping!! keith721 09-08-2001 14:13:35

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) Deviant Profile Robert, yes, parameters are used. This will probably lead you there. Perform the calendar event add or whatever, then look in the history file I referenced. It'll probably have the URL with parameters for you to copy. Do various operations, and you'll be able to open up the whole thing. 09-08-2001 15:00:16

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) zooloo Profile This sendmessage is interesting, it's a good start to figuring out the inter-messaging between the apps. I assume all the apps that require res's pid communicate using this type of messaging, and buttond is the relay for the hardware buttons to the apps. This is why when we run other apps that are not 'res friendly' the buttons won't work. If the messaging could be figured out between apps you could write custom apps for the hardware buttons, automatically put the browser in 'full-screen' mode, etc. I haven't had time to look at the qnx inter-process messaging protocol, but it may be possible to build an app that would intercept messages. I think Sendmessage may be used for apps that don't have support for the 'normal' intermessaging protocol. hmm. -zooloo 09-08-2001 19:09:38

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) Johnboy Profile I found a cool one, if you are hitting the CGI from another machine... /cgi-bin/SendMessage?M=GOTO_URL&S=www.yahoo.com It will open the browser and goto the URL given. john 09-15-2001 13:38:12

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) pathensley Profile Any idea how to put Audrey into full-screen browser using GOTO? 09-30-2001 21:54:35

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) pjf02536 Profile I found a link for a utility called firekey and another called firef4. either may be able to do what you want found at http://www.geocities.com/bholio Has anyone figured out exacxtly what would be needed to make SendMessage work on a non stock image ? (starting new thread for this one ) 11-26-2002 10:42:24

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) Industry Profile For kicks, here's a list of the commands you can use with SendMessage that I've found: GOTO_URL UPDATE_CHANNEL UPDATE_ALL_CHANNELS ADD_ADDRESS_TO_ADDRESS_BOOK ADD_EMAIL_ADDRESS_TO_ADDRESS_BOOK ADD_URL_TO_ADDRESS_BOOK ADD_SCRAP_TO_ADDRESS_BOOK COMPOSE_EMAIL ADD_EVENT_TO_CALENDAR CONNECTION_MANAGER_CONNECT UPDATE_CURRENT_CHANNEL LAUNCH_CHANNEL_SELECTOR DISMISS_ACTION_PALETTE QUERY_STRING 11-30-2002 21:33:45

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) n1gp Profile Anyone have any idea how to use one of these to update a channel, just like GOTO_URL makes the Browser goto a URL, do any of the below make a channel update to a URL? UPDATE_CHANNEL UPDATE_ALL_CHANNELS UPDATE_CURRENT_CHANNEL 01-06-2003 11:26:23

RE:The power of SendMessage (modified 0 times) ZacWolf Profile | Email Can anyone email me( zac@zacwolf.com ) the SendMessage binary? I just installed jukebox's "QNX Audrey Platform" with QNX USB support and it doesn't seem to have the binary... Does anyone know if the GOTO_URL will work with the "real" Voyager browser? THANKS!!! -Zac 02-15-2003 14:29:08
