The jomSendMsg call, shown in the following example, is used to send normal messages to objects.

int jomSendMsg(const DskHandle   *pHandle,
               const DskObjectId *pOid,
               DskParam          *pMessage,
               DskParam          *pParams,
               DskParam          *pReturn,
               UInt32            lineNo)

For a description of the messages available for the instances of each system class, see Volume 1 and Volume 2 (system classes) and Chapter 2, "Window Classes", of the JADE Encyclopaedia of Classes.

This call is also used to send user-defined messages to objects.
