Description
The DDE Sample contains two applications. They are the DDE Client and DDE Server. Each is located in a subdirectory. These two applications start DDE conversations with each other and can perform data requests to the other application. In addition they can be hotlinked together for automatic data requests. Classes used include IDDEClientConversation, IDDEClientAcknowledge, IDDEClientEndEvent, IDDEClientHotLinkEvent, IDDEClientHotLinkSet, IDDEBeginEvent, IDDEEndEvent, IDDETopicServer, IDDERequestDataEvent, IDDEServerHotLinkEvent, and IDDEAcknowledgeEvent. DDE is not supported on Unix platforms.
