Use SendMessage() to send a message to a window.

SendMessage() blocks the calling thread until the message had been delivered and processed by the target window's message dispatcher.

From SendMessage()'s documentation:

Sends the specified message to a window or windows. The SendMessage function calls the window procedure for the specified window and does not return until the window procedure has processed the message.
