public:
 int DDEInitiate(System::String ^ App, System::String ^ Topic);
public int DDEInitiate (string App, string Topic);
abstract member DDEInitiate : string * string -> int
Public Function DDEInitiate (App As String, Topic As String) As Integer

Parameters

App
String

Required String. The name of the application.

Topic
String

Required String. The name of a DDE topic— for example, the name of an open document— recognized by the application to which you're opening a channel.

Returns

Remarks

Dynamic data exchange (DDE) is an older technology that is not secure. If possible, use a more secure alternative to DDE.

If it's successful, the DDEInitiate method returns the number of the open channel. All subsequent DDE functions use this number to specify the channel.
