I'm trying to use the "Application.OnMessage" event handler to trap a
WM_USER message coming from another application. The problem is that the
way my code is defined, I seem to be having a problem receiving the
message I want. Here's my code:

procedure TForm1.AppMessage(var Msg: TMsg; var Handled:Boolean);
begin
        if (Msg.Message = WM_USER+203) then showmessage('Message Received');
end;

When I activate the above procedure (in a TForm1.Button1Click procedure)
by:

Application.onmessage := AppMessage

It doesn't see the message.

However, I notice if I replace "WM_USER+203" with "WM_CHAR" (to look for
keystrokes), this code works as long as my application is in the
foreground. My guess is that what's happening here is that I need to do
something(?) to make my app look at ALL WM_USER messages? Or can I
narrow my 'focus' down by looking at messages that are coming from a
particular window handle? Will the Application.onmessage work for what
I'm tring to do, or do I need to use something like PeekMessage (which
seems a lot harder to use)?

Any Ideas?

   Only a tip:  why not trapping the WM_USER message by

       private
           procedure WM_USER (var Msg: TMsg); message WM_USER+203;
