Description

You must use this subprogram in the event handler of a DDE-client event to fill the DDE-VIEW parameter data area. You must then ensure that your event handler code acts on the value of DDE-VIEW.MESSAGE. The possible values of DDE-VIEW.MESSAGE are:

DISCONNECT The server has terminated the conversation identified by DDE-VIEW.CONV-ID by unregistering the topic, or by exiting.
DATA The server has sent data for DDE-VIEW.CONV-ID and DDE-VIEW.ITEM. The data are contained in DDE-VIEW.DATA. The length of the data will be contained in DDE-VIEW.DATALEN.
NOTIFY The server has new data available for the conversation identified by DDE-VIEW.CONV-ID and DDE-VIEW.ITEM. The data are not sent at this point. You must request these data in your event handler. Only then the data will actually be received.
TIMEOUT No server message has been received during the timeout period.

When DDE-VIEW.MESSAGE has the value DISCONNECT, DATA, or NOTIFY, the fields DDE-VIEW.SERVICE and DDE-VIEW.TOPIC are also set appropriately.
