Creating DDE Server
- Create a new project "Project1"
- On Form1, set LinkMode="1 - Source"
- Set LinkTopic = "MyTopic"
- Add Textbox called "txtSource"
You now have a DDE Server which
publishes a topic called "Project1|MyTopic".
The LinkItem name is "txtSource".
It's hardwired to the name of the
textbox control.
Creating a DDE Client
- Create a new project "Project2"
- Add a textbox "Text1"
- Add the following code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.LinkMode = 0
Text1.LinkTopic = "Project1|MyTopic"
Text1.LinkItem = "txtSource"
Text1.LinkTimeout = 100
Text1.LinkMode = vbLinkAutomatic
End Sub
Test
- Compile both projects.
- Start project1.exe first
- Start project2.exe (you must have project1.exe running or you will get an error)
- Start typing into the textbox in project1
and see that it gets echoed in project2.

Good code... 5 globes from me
I test the code for my computer and it works fine.
I want to ask if I want to run this code over network (Local Area Network), what shoud I change in the code, or what should I change of the network setting.
Thanks,
