XTYP_WILDCONNECT

A dynamic data exchange (DDE) server callback function receives the XTYP_WILDCONNECT transaction when a client specifies a NULL service name, a NULL topic name, or both in a call to the DdeConnect or DdeConnectList function. This transaction allows a client to establish a conversation on each of the server's service name and topic name pairs that match the specified service name and topic name.

Parameters
uFmt

Not used.

hconv

Not used.

hsz1

Identifies the topic name. If this parameter is NULL, the client is requesting a conversation on all topic names that the server supports.

hsz2

Identifies the service name. If this parameter is NULL, the client is requesting a conversation on all service names that the server supports.

hdata

Not used.

dwData1

Points to a CONVCONTEXT structure that contains context information for the conversation. If the client is not a Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML) application, this parameter is set to 0.

dwData2

Specifies whether the client is the same application instance as the server. If the parameter is 1, the client is same instance. If the parameter is 0, the client is a different instance.

Return Value
The server should return a data handle that identifies an array of HSZPAIR structures. The array should contain one structure for each service-name and topic-name pair that matches the service-name and topic-name pair requested by the client. The array must be terminated by a NULL string handle. The system sends the XTYP_CONNECT_CONFIRM transaction to the server to confirm each conversation and to pass the conversation handles to the server. The server will not receive these confirmations if it specified the CBF_SKIP_CONNECT_CONFIRMS flag in the DdeInitialize function.

The server should return NULL to refuse the XTYP_WILDCONNECT transaction.

Remarks
This transaction is filtered if the server application specified the CBF_FAIL_CONNECTIONS flag in the DdeInitialize function.

A server cannot block this transaction type; the CBR_BLOCK return code is ignored.

    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.
