The following code is an example of how to use DDEML in Visual Basic. DDEML (DDE Management Library) is the Win32 API mechanism for performing DDE based interprocess communication. Using it with VB provides a much more customizable and scalable DDE mechanism than using standard VB form-based DDE. The zip file contains an example server and client.
The version 2 server inlcudes DDEAdvise functionality. This allows it to notify clients of data changes.
