REGISTERADDON

The App will register itself by using the following DDE Execute command:

  [RegisterAddOn:e="<exec>",d="<desc>",h="<handle,handle>",c="<class>",s="<sl>"]

Where:

  <exec>          This is the line WinCheck will pass to WinExec after
                  it has been registered.  The user will not need to
                  re-install the app a second time.

  <desc>          This is the text that goes on a menu line

  <handle,handle> First handle is handle of application add-on
                  Second handle is the DDE conversation handle so
                  WinCheck can drive it if needed.

  <class>         This is the class name of the first handle above.
                  Sanity check to make sure that the handle above has
                  not been re-assigned to something else.

  <sl>            This will be displayed in the status line

  Example:

  [RegisterAddOn:e="payroll.exe",d="Payroll Check",h="1412,1242",c="clsPayRoll",s="Payroll"]


NOTE:

  The example program PAYROLL, written in Visual Basic demonstrates using
  the REGISTERADDON DDE Call.
