- DDE Control Centre
- """"""""""""""""""
-
- DDE Control Centre was originally written to experiment with DDE,
- and to determine what applications provided program control via DDE.
-
- The initial design simply "peeked" and "poked" the various settings
- provided by applications such as Window's Program Manager, Lotus 1-2-3
- and Microsoft Access, but later developed to include a simplistic macro
- language.
-
- This allowed various DDE conversations to be pre-scripted using DDE, and
- then incorporated into final applications.
-
- Since then, the language has grown to encompass some of the more commonly
- required functions of inter-process communication including AppActivate,
- Maximize/Maximise, Minimize/Minimise, etc.
-
- If interest is sufficient, this language will be expanded to include
- variables, loops, and many of the features we have come to expect from
- standard application programming languages such as Visual Basic,
- Applications Edition.
