Then you are not using it correctly, because it works fine for me whenever I
use it.

Not true.  You can send messages to any window.

Correct.  For other messages, you will need to use
Application->HookMainWindow() instead.

See above.

You already know how.  There is nothing wrong with using
FindWindow("TForm1", "Form1"), it works fine assuming those are your actual
values of your window.  I do strongly recommend that you give your forms
more unique names, though, to prevent FindWindow() from finding windows that
belong to other applications instead of your own, in case you are running
other VCL programs written by other people.  You should never stick with
using the default names for very long.
