    • Method Detail

      • initialize

        public void initialize(int afCmd)
                        throws DdemlUtil.DdemlException
        Description copied from interface: DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Registers an application with the Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML). An application must call this function before calling any other Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML) function.
        Specified by:
        initialize in interface DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Parameters:
        afCmd - A set of APPCMD_, CBF_, and MF_ flags. The APPCMD_ flags provide special instructions to DdeInitialize. The CBF_ flags specify filters that prevent specific types of transactions from reaching the callback function. The MF_ flags specify the types of DDE activity that a DDE monitoring application monitors. Using these flags enhances the performance of a DDE application by eliminating unnecessary calls to the callback function.

        This parameter can be one or more of the following values.

        ValueMeaning
        APPCLASS_MONITOR
        0x00000001L

        Makes it possible for the application to monitor DDE activity in the system. This flag is for use by DDE monitoring applications. The application specifies the types of DDE activity to monitor by combining one or more monitor flags with the APPCLASS_MONITOR flag. For details, see the following Remarks section.

        APPCLASS_STANDARD
        0x00000000L

        Registers the application as a standard (nonmonitoring) DDEML application.

        APPCMD_CLIENTONLY
        0x00000010L

        Prevents the application from becoming a server in a DDE conversation. The application can only be a client. This flag reduces consumption of resources by the DDEML. It includes the functionality of the CBF_FAIL_ALLSVRXACTIONS flag.

        APPCMD_FILTERINITS
        0x00000020L

        Prevents the DDEML from sending XTYP_CONNECT and XTYP_WILDCONNECT transactions to the application until the application has created its string handles and registered its service names or has turned off filtering by a subsequent call to the DdeNameService or DdeInitialize function. This flag is always in effect when an application calls DdeInitialize for the first time, regardless of whether the application specifies the flag. On subsequent calls to DdeInitialize, not specifying this flag turns off the application's service-name filters, but specifying it turns on the application's service name filters.

        CBF_FAIL_ALLSVRXACTIONS
        0x0003f000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving server transactions. The system returns DDE_FNOTPROCESSED to each client that sends a transaction to this application. This flag is equivalent to combining all CBF_FAIL_ flags.

        CBF_FAIL_ADVISES
        0x00004000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_ADVSTART and XTYP_ADVSTOP transactions. The system returns DDE_FNOTPROCESSED to each client that sends an XTYP_ADVSTART or XTYP_ADVSTOP transaction to the server.

        CBF_FAIL_CONNECTIONS
        0x00002000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_CONNECT and XTYP_WILDCONNECT transactions.

        CBF_FAIL_EXECUTES
        0x00008000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_EXECUTE transactions. The system returns DDE_FNOTPROCESSED to a client that sends an XTYP_EXECUTE transaction to the server.

        CBF_FAIL_POKES
        0x00010000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_POKE transactions. The system returns DDE_FNOTPROCESSED to a client that sends an XTYP_POKE transaction to the server.

        CBF_FAIL_REQUESTS
        0x00020000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_REQUEST transactions. The system returns DDE_FNOTPROCESSED to a client that sends an XTYP_REQUEST transaction to the server.

        CBF_FAIL_SELFCONNECTIONS
        0x00001000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_CONNECT transactions from the application's own instance. This flag prevents an application from establishing a DDE conversation with its own instance. An application should use this flag if it needs to communicate with other instances of itself but not with itself.

        CBF_SKIP_ALLNOTIFICATIONS
        0x003c0000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving any notifications. This flag is equivalent to combining all CBF_SKIP_ flags.

        CBF_SKIP_CONNECT_CONFIRMS
        0x00040000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_CONNECT_CONFIRM notifications.

        CBF_SKIP_DISCONNECTS
        0x00200000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_DISCONNECT notifications.

        CBF_SKIP_REGISTRATIONS
        0x00080000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_REGISTER notifications.

        CBF_SKIP_UNREGISTRATIONS
        0x00100000

        Prevents the callback function from receiving XTYP_UNREGISTER notifications.

        MF_CALLBACKS
        0x08000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever a transaction is sent to any DDE callback function in the system.

        MF_CONV
        0x40000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever a conversation is established or terminated.

        MF_ERRORS
        0x10000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever a DDE error occurs.

        MF_HSZ_INFO
        0x01000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever a DDE application creates, frees, or increments the usage count of a string handle or whenever a string handle is freed as a result of a call to the DdeUninitialize function.

        MF_LINKS
        0x20000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever an advise loop is started or ended.

        MF_POSTMSGS
        0x04000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever the system or an application posts a DDE message.

        MF_SENDMSGS
        0x02000000

        Notifies the callback function whenever the system or an application sends a DDE message.

        If the function failsa DdemlException is raised with one of the following errroCodes:

        • DMLERR_DLL_USAGE
        • DMLERR_INVALIDPARAMETER
        • DMLERR_SYS_ERROR
        Throws:
        DdemlUtil.DdemlException
      • createStringHandle

        public Ddeml.HSZ createStringHandle(java.lang.String value)
                                     throws DdemlUtil.DdemlException
        Description copied from interface: DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Creates a handle that identifies the specified string. A Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) client or server application can pass the string handle as a parameter to other Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML) functions.
        Specified by:
        createStringHandle in interface DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Parameters:
        value - The string for which a handle is to be created. This string can be up to 255 characters. The reason for this limit is that DDEML string management functions are implemented using atoms.
        Returns:
        If the function succeeds, the return value is a string handle. A parameter NULL will cause NULL to be returned.

        If the function fails, a DdemlException is raised with the corresponding errorCode:

        • DMLERR_INVALIDPARAMETER
        • DMLERR_NO_ERROR
        • DMLERR_SYS_ERROR
        Throws:
        DdemlUtil.DdemlException
      • nameService

                         throws DdemlUtil.DdemlException
        Description copied from interface: DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Registers or unregisters the service names a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) server supports. This function causes the system to send XTYP_REGISTER or XTYP_UNREGISTER transactions to other running Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library (DDEML) client applications.
        Specified by:
        nameService in interface DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Parameters:
        name - A handle to the string that specifies the service name the server is registering or unregistering. An application that is unregistering all of its service names should set this parameter to 0L.
        afCmd - The service name options. This parameter can be one of the following values.
        ValueMeaning
        DNS_REGISTERRegisters the error code service name.
        DNS_UNREGISTERUnregisters the error code service name. If the hsz1 parameter is 0L, all service names registered by the server will be unregistered.
        DNS_FILTERONTurns on service name initiation filtering. The filter prevents a server from receiving XTYP_CONNECT transactions for service names it has not registered. This is the default setting for this filter.

        If a server application does not register any service names, the application cannot receive XTYP_WILDCONNECT transactions.
        DNS_FILTEROFFTurns off service name initiation filtering. If this flag is specified, the server receives an XTYP_CONNECT transaction whenever another DDE application calls the DdeConnect function, regardless of the service name.

                                               int afCmd)
        Description copied from interface: DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Creates a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) object and fills the object with data from the specified buffer. A DDE application uses this function during transactions that involve passing data to the partner application.
        Specified by:
        createDataHandle in interface DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Parameters:
        pSrc - The data to be copied to the DDE object. If this parameter is NULL, no data is copied to the object.
        cb - The amount of memory, in bytes, to copy from the buffer pointed to by pSrc. (include the terminating NULL, if the data is a string). If this parameter is zero, the pSrc parameter is ignored.
        cbOff - An offset, in bytes, from the beginning of the buffer pointed to by the pSrc parameter. The data beginning at this offset is copied from the buffer to the DDE object.
        hszItem - A handle to the string that specifies the data item corresponding to the DDE object. This handle must have been created by a previous call to the DdeCreateStringHandle function. If the data handle is to be used in an XTYP_EXECUTE transaction, this parameter must be 0L.
        wFmt - The standard clipboard format of the data.
        afCmd - The creation flags. This parameter can be HDATA_APPOWNED, which specifies that the server application calling the DdeCreateDataHandle function owns the data handle this function creates. This flag enables the application to share the data handle with other DDEML applications rather than creating a separate handle to pass to each application. If this flag is specified, the application must eventually free the shared memory object associated with the handle by using the DdeFreeDataHandle function. If this flag is not specified, the handle becomes invalid in the application that created the handle after the data handle is returned by the application's DDE callback function or is used as a parameter in another DDEML function.
        Returns:
        If the function succeeds, the return value is a data handle.

        If the function fails a DdeException is raised with the following errorCodes:

        Specified by:
        freeDataHandle in interface DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Parameters:
        hData - A handle to the DDE object to be freed. This handle must have been created by a previous call to the DdeCreateDataHandle function or returned by the DdeClientTransaction function.

        If the function fails a DdeException is raised with the following errorCodes:

        Parameters:
        hData - A handle to the DDE object that contains the data to copy.
        pDst - A pointer to the buffer that receives the data. If this parameter is NULL, the DdeGetData function returns the amount of data, in bytes, that would be copied to the buffer.
        cbMax - The maximum amount of data, in bytes, to copy to the buffer pointed to by the pDst parameter. Typically, this parameter specifies the length of the buffer pointed to by pDst.
        cbOff - An offset within the DDE object. Data is copied from the object beginning at this offset.
        Returns:
        If the pDst parameter points to a buffer, the return value is the size, in bytes, of the memory object associated with the data handle or the size specified in the cbMax parameter, whichever is lower.

        Description copied from interface: DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Establishes a conversation with all server applications that support the specified service name and topic name pair. An application can also use this function to obtain a list of conversation handles by passing the function an existing conversation handle. The Dynamic Data Exchange Management Library removes the handles of any terminated conversations from the conversation list. The resulting conversation list contains the handles of all currently established conversations that support the specified service name and topic name.
        Specified by:
        connectList in interface DdemlUtil.IDdeClient
        Parameters:
        service - A handle to the string that specifies the service name of the server application with which a conversation is to be established. If this parameter is 0L, the system attempts to establish conversations with all available servers that support the specified topic name.
        topic - A handle to the string that specifies the name of the topic on which a conversation is to be established. This handle must have been created by a previous call to the DdeCreateStringHandle function. If this parameter is 0L, the system will attempt to establish conversations on all topics supported by the selected server (or servers).
        existingList - An existinct conversation list to be enumerated. This parameter should be NULL if a new conversation list is to be established.
        ctx - A pointer to the CONVCONTEXT structure that contains conversation-context information. If this parameter is NULL, the server receives the default CONVCONTEXT structure during the XTYP_CONNECT or XTYP_WILDCONNECT transaction.
        Returns:
        The new ConnectionList
