Need help with DDE

[Keymaker]

Hello,

I am using AutoIT3 to write a small DDE server program and used the Sample Server script found in this UDF: DDEML UDF

My client program is a .NET app (which I've written using C# using NDde.dll). I've gotten the AutoIT UDF server program to accept client.Execute() commands from my client, but I need to know how to configure the server to send data back to the client in response to a client.Request() command. The structure of the NDde client.Request command is: client.Request (string Command, int Timeout). That command should return data (from the server) in CF_TEXT format.

Alternatively, NDde has a client.TryRequest() command I could use with the structure: client.TryRequest( String item, Int32 format, Int32 timeout, out Byte[]& data)

where: item = An item name supported by the current conversation.

format = The format of the data to return

timeout = The amount of time in milliseconds to wait for a response

data = Data returned by server application

I can use either one of these commands, depending upon which one is supported by the AutoIT DDEML UDFs.

Thanks in advance.
