Where does the hardcoded 99999 come from in this line ?
win32api.PostMessage(hwnd,message,1,99999)
If I'm interpreting the docs correctly, that parm should be a handle
to a top-level window you create yourself that receives messages
from the app.
Also, you'll need to be running a message loop to receive messages
(see win32gui.PumpMessages).
