Callback Function

An application that uses the DDEML must provide a callback function that processes the DDE events affecting the application. The DDEML notifies an application of such events by sending transactions to the application's DDE callback function. The transactions a callback function receives depend on which callback filter flags the application specified in DdeInitialize and whether the application is a client, a server, or both. For more information, please see DdeCallback.

The following example shows the general structure of a callback function for a typical client application.

HDDEDATA CALLBACK DdeCallback(uType, uFmt, hconv, hsz1,

hsz2, hdata, dwData1, dwData2)

UINT uType; /* transaction type */

UINT uFmt; /* clipboard data format */

HCONV hconv; /* handle of conversation */

HSZ hsz1; /* handle of string */

HSZ hsz2; /* handle of string */

HDDEDATA hdata; /* handle of global memory object */

DWORD dwData1; /* transaction-specific data */

DWORD dwData2; /* transaction-specific data */

{

switch (uType) {

case XTYP_REGISTER:

case XTYP_UNREGISTER:

return (HDDEDATA) NULL;

case XTYP_ADVDATA:

return (HDDEDATA) DDE_FACK;

case XTYP_XACT_COMPLETE:

return (HDDEDATA) NULL;

case XTYP_DISCONNECT:

return (HDDEDATA) NULL;

default:

return (HDDEDATA) NULL;

}

The uType parameter specifies the transaction type sent to the callback function by the DDEML. The values of the remaining parameters depend on the transaction type. The transaction types and the events that generate them are described in the following topics. For detailed information about each transaction type, see Transaction Management.

    Nostalgia .Net     .Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More »
