Using DDE in MFC-Applications
-
I'm just looking for an easy approach to build a dde server to provide changing data retrieved from internet ressources to other apps (e.g. Excel). Are there any good examples using the MS ddeml library :eek: Alternatively an easy to use ActiveX-control wrapping this stuff would be great appreciated :wtf: Thanks for your help. Mathefreak

If you want to make Excel a DDE Server you can try something like this: DDE Service : EXCEL DDE Topic : Book1:Sheet1 DDE Item : R2C2 ( refers to Row2, Column2 ) or if you want to create DDE server, see the SDK DDEML sample "Server Sample: DDE Server" in MSDN. "A robust program is resistant to errors -- it either works correctly, or it does not work at all; whereas a fault tolerant program must actually recover from errors."
