DDE Menu Server

To add, delete, and change menu items, the following DDE conversation must take place between the session and a DDE menu client application.

REQTEXT — Figure 1. DDE Menu Client Conversation

When the user selects a menu item from the new menu, Personal Communications will send a DDE DATA with aSELECTMENU as the item. When Personal Communications sends DDE DATA to the client application, Personal Communications will inhibit the session from accepting user input. The menu client application can then display a dialog, and so on. When the menu client application has completed processing of the menu item, it will send a DDE ACK to signal Personal Communications the process is complete. Personal Communications will then reenable the window for the user.
