DDE - arguments to functions¶
The arguments to DDE functions, which should all be strings or alphanumeric fields, are as follows:
service |
The service name. Examples: “PROGMAN”; “Excel” |
topic |
The topic name for the conversation. The topic must be supported by the service. |
item |
The name of an item for which data is requested or being sent. |
command |
The text of a command to be sent to a service. |
data |
An item of data to be sent to a service. |
By convention, the service, topic and item names are normally case insensitive; however, this cannot be guaranteed for all servers. Refer to the server program’s DDE documentation for the service name, the topics supported, and the items available under each topic.
