DDE Functions in a 32–bit Environment
This chapter contains information for DDE functions, as used in a Windows® 32–bit environment.
Personal Communications provides a 32-bit dynamic data exchange (DDE) interface
that allows applications to exchange data. The exchange of data between
two Windows® applications can be thought of as a
conversation between a client and a server. The client initiates
DDE conversations. The server in turn responds
to the client. Personal Communications is a DDE server for the open sessions that Personal Communications is
managing. For more information about DDE, refer to Microsoft Windows Software Development
Kit Guide to Programming.
Note:
If you use DDE functions with Visual Basic®, see Using DDE Functions with a DDE Client Application.
Personal Communications also supports 16-bit DDE applications. See DDE Functions in a 16-Bit Environment.
