@class wxDDEConnection
|
|
|
|
A wxDDEConnection object represents the connection between a client and a
|
|
server. It can be created by making a connection using a wxDDEClient
|
|
object, or by the acceptance of a connection by a wxDDEServer object.
|
|
The bulk of a DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) conversation is controlled by calling
|
|
members in a wxDDEConnection object or by overriding its members.
|
|
|
|
An application should normally derive a new connection class from
|
|
wxDDEConnection, in order to override the communication event handlers to
|
|
do something interesting.
|
|
|
|
This DDE-based implementation is available on Windows only, but a
|
|
platform-independent, socket-based version of this API is available using
|
|
wxTCPConnection.
