Members

cb
Specifies the structure’s size, in bytes.
hUser
Identifies application-defined data.
hConvPartner
Identifies the partner application in the DDE conversation. This member is zero if the partner has not registered itself (using the DdeInitialize function) to make DDE Management Library (DDEML) function calls. An application should not pass this member to any DDEML function except DdeQueryConvInfo.
hszSvcPartner
Identifies the service name of the partner application.
hszServiceReq
Identifies the service name of the server application that was requested for connection.
hszTopic
Identifies the name of the requested topic.
hszItem
Identifies the name of the requested item. This member is transaction specific.
wFmt
Specifies the format of the data being exchanged. This member is transaction specific.
wType
Specifies the type of the current transaction. This member is transaction specific; it can be one of the following values:

Value

Meaning

XTYP_ADVDATA
