Hello,
SendMessage() API takes as first parameter handle.
When SendMessage() is used in Main routine located in the module and at
startup there is not any form loaded yet, what should I use for the handle?

What are you trying to do? SendMessage() sends a message to a window, if you have no window then you can't send it a message? If
you have a form in your project then put the code in your Form_Load() method instead of Main().
Hope this helps,

Typically the only window available in the app to recieve a msg at
that time would be the non-visible "ThunderMain" / "ThunderRT6Main"
class window. Perhaps if you explained what you need to do... ?
