- I have got a serious problem with DDE!
-
- I am working on an application which has to communicate with
- MS-WinWord 6.0 and MS-Excel 5.0 via DDE.
-
- I am creating a modeless dialog box for this communication, because
- I need a window for the received DDE-Posts. The whole communication
- including the "Connection" and "Disconnection" from my DDE-Servers
- takes place in this dialog.
-
- Here's the problem:
-
- As soon, as I am closing the DDE-Connection, my application
- cannot be reached via the task-list anymore!!
-
- I can still see the name of my application in the tasklist,
- but when i try to activate it, always the last DDE-Server
- application becomes active. - And I cannot switch back to my
- application using the ALT-TAB combination either.
-
- The only way to get back to my application, is to minimize all
- other applications, until i can see my own one on the screen.
- Then I can activate it with the mouse!
-
- Does anyone know this can happen, or what I can do to overcome this
- problem?
-
- 1000 thanks in advance!
-
- PS: I would be grateful, if you could e-mail me! (pcc-graz@ping.at)
