Description
Establishes a DDE link with a server, in one of four modes.
Usage
Return the current DDE link status:
currentlink = Get_Property (objectname, "DDELINK")
Set the link status:
existingprop = Set_Property (objectname, "DDELINK", linkstatus)
Remarks
linkstatus can have one of the following four values.
| DDELINK Keyword | Description |
|---|---|
| HOT | Server sends linked data, as soon as that data changes. When the server notifies the OpenInsight control of the change, the DDEADVISE event handler for the associated control is invoked, and the data specified by the connection is passed. |
| WARM | The DDEADVISE event for the associated OpenInsight for Workgroups control is invoked by the server, but the affected data is not copied to that control until the DDEDATA property is set. |
| AUTO | Same as HOT, but the data is updated upon notification from the server, without invocation of the DDEADVISE event. |
| COLD, OFF | Turns off any notification by the server, until any of the other three properties is invoked. |
