===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
DDClient is an ActiveX Control (OCX) which allows Visual Basic 5 and
later to make full use of the client side of Dynamic Data Exchange. The
control uses the DDEML library to provide guaranteed correct DDE
protocol usage. The application is not restricted by the limited DDE
capabilities of Visual Basic. The help file includes an overview of DDE
and complete design time context sensitive help. The package comes with
test applications in compiled and source code form.
Data in any format can be received and sent, not just strings as with
the built in mechanism. There is a logical class structure for handling
conversations, advise loops, request loops and all other DDE client
functions. These include the Execute and Poke methods, Wildconnect to
query available servers and the recording of DDE servers as they
register and unregister.
Event driven programming allows the application to start a DDE
transaction and then continue without waiting for the DDE operation to
finish. An event is raised when the transaction is complete.
Synchronous operation, in which the applications waits, is also
possible.
To use the full control DDClient in your own applications you must obtain
a design time licence file. The help file has the information you need.
When you have this file, simply double click on it. Regedit will read the
file and make the necessary registry entries.
DDClDemo is the demonstration version of DDClient. It is fully
functional and does not require a design time licence. It is limited to
one conversation with up to two advise or request loops and always
shows the About box on loading and unloading.
===== Packing List =====================================
As released by the author or publisher, this package contained the
following files in addition to this VENDINFO.DIZ:
Filename Size Date Time CRC32

===== Installation =====================================
The program Setup.exe installs the DDClient and DDClDemo controls, help
file and test applications into the folder of your choice and the
controls are registered. By default the location is a subdirectory of
"Program Files", you can if you wish change this to your Windows\System,
Winnt\System32 or any other directory. After installation, you may want
to move the Visual Basic test project files to a directory in which you
normally keep VB projects. The controls and compiled test programs
require MSVBVM50.DLL.
An uninstall icon is placed in the program group, the Control Panel
Add/Remove programs applet can also be used. However, Windows may not
be able to remove everything. The controls are registered shared
programs, and the uninstall program cannot remove any files you have
added to the folder. You may need to remove files and the installation
folder by hand.
The following files are installed -
