Hello,

PostMessage function.
The Tinn-R project sends messages to Rgui.exe (SDI mode) via the Windows
API's PostMessage function.
A simplification of the code (in object Pascal) can be seen below.
procedure TfMain.btnPasteClick(Sender: TObject);
var
i: integer;
sTmp: WideString;
hBN: HWND;
begin
hBN:= FindWindowA(nil,
'R Console (64-bit)');
sTmp:= 'sd';
for i:= 1 to Length(sTmp) do begin
PostMessage(hBN,
WM_CHAR,
Ord(sTmp[i]),
0);
end;
PostMessage(hBN,
WM_KEYDOWN,
VK_RETURN, 0);
end;
This code has always worked fine for all versions of Rgui.exe with the
exception of the last one released, ie 4.2.0.
We've been trying to get around the problem on the Object Pascal side,
but without success so far.
Does anyone connected to the compilation of Rqui.exe know what the
problem is?
It could be that the new build enforces Windows security more stringently. More details are described in the answer to this question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40139498/2554330, but at a minimum you should be checking the return value from PostMessage. Duncan Murdoch
