DDE Client actions
coldLink: (String) format: (String)
The coldLink:Format: action ends any links that the DDE client application has with a DDE server application for the item and format parameters specified.
Note:
Ending a link does not disconnect the DDE client application from the server. All other links remain active.
connect
The connect action causes a DDE client application to attempt to connect to a DDE server application. The DDE client application does not automatically perform this action when they are started. If a DDE client application is already connected when this action occurs, no action is taken.
destroyPart
The destroyPart action destroys the part and its children, and releases all associated resources. You can use this action for both visual and nonvisual parts. All connections to the destroyed part are removed.
disconnect
The disconnect action ends the current conversation. All links are ended. A disconnect happens automatically when the part is destroyed.
Use the connect action to connect to the server again.
execute: (String)
The execute: action submits a command string to a DDE server application.
free
The free action frees any resources used by the DDE Client part. All links to the DDE server application are ended. The DDE Client part cannot be used after this action is performed.
requestData: (String) format: (String)
The requestData:Format: action requests data from a DDE server application for the item and format parameters specified. A link is created for the item you specify. The link returns the value of the item, unless the link fails in which case it returns the value of nil.
sendItem: string value: object format: string
The sendItem:value:format: action sends the value of an item to the server.
