DDESERVER( [ application ] [, topic ] )

blk2blue.jpg

DDESERVER Returns a new DDE server channel number.
application A string constant or variable containing the name of the application. Usually, this is the name of the application. If omitted, the filename of the application (without extension) is used.
topic A string constant or variable containing the name of the application-specific topic. If omitted, the application will respond to any data request.

The DDESERVER procedure returns a new DDE server channel number for the application and topic. The channel number specifies a topic for which the application will provide data. This allows a single Clarion application to register as a DDE server for multiple topics.

Example:

DDERetVal  STRING(20)

WinOne   WINDOW,AT(0,0,160,400)

         ENTRY(@s20),USE(DDERetVal)

        END

MyServer LONG

CODE

OPEN(WinOne)

MyServer = DDESERVER('MyApp','DataEntered')  !Open as server
