Note that when specifying 'msg' you must just use the integer value of the message. If you wish to send strings use "STR:a string" as wParam or lParam where needed.

Include WinMessages.nsh to have all of Windows messages defined in your script.
To send a string param, put STR: before the parameter, for example: "STR:Some string".
Use /TIMEOUT=time_in_ms to specify the duration, in milliseconds, of the time-out period.
