DDE
Overview
CX-Supervisor supports Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), which is a method of communication
between Windows programs. DDE uses messages to exchange data between applications and a
protocol to synchronise the passing of data. DDE applications fall into four categories client, server,
client/server and monitor. A client application requests data or services from a server application. A
server application responds to a client applications requests for data or services. Monitor applications
can intercept DDE messages but cannot act on them, they are therefore useful for debugging
purposes. CX-Supervisor is a client/server application, which is both a client application and a server
application, thus requesting and providing information.
All CX-Supervisor DDE data transfers are carried out on points and are asynchronous transfers.
There are two types of DDE points that can be created, namely ‘DDE Client Points’ and ‘DDE Server
Points’.
