Network DDE For 16-bit Windows-based Apps Under Windows NT (127861)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API), when used with:
- the operating system: Microsoft Windows NT 3.5
This article was previously published under Q127861 SUMMARY
Network Dynamic Data Exchange (NetDDE) has limited support for 16-bit
Windows application running under Windows NT. You can use DDE across the
network, however, the NDde APIs are not supported.
The NDde APIs, such as NDdeShareAdd(), are used to create and manage the
NetDDE shares, not for the actual communication. Therefore, for 16-bit
applications to use NetDDE under Windows NT, you will need to use Generic
Thunks to thunk to the 32-bit NDde APIs to create and trust the share. Once
that is done, you can communicate using DDE or DDEML.
NOTE: You must be an administrator to add a DDE share.
