DdeCmpStringHandles

The DdeCmpStringHandles function compares the values of two string handles. The value of a string handle is not related to the case of the associated string.

int DdeCmpStringHandles(

HSZ hsz1,
// handle to first string
HSZ hsz2
// handle to second string
);

Parameters

hsz1

Identifies the first string.

hsz2

Identifies the second string.

Return Values

The return value can be one of the following values:

Value
Meaning
pics/WIN3200090000.gif1
The value of hsz1 is either 0 or less than the value of hsz2.
0
The values of hsz1 and hsz2 are equal (both can be 0).

The value of hsz2 is either 0 or less than the value of hsz1.

Remarks

An application that must do a case-sensitive comparison of two string handles should compare the string handles directly. An application should use DdeCmpStringHandles for all other comparisons to preserve the case-insensitive nature of dynamic data exchange (DDE).

DdeCmpStringHandles cannot be used to sort string handles alphabetically.

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 »
