- I am writing one of my first windows programs (in C) and I am having some
- trouble. I am using DDE to write a front end to a commerical product. Most
- things are going well, but I am curious how to use the XTYP_EXECUTE message.
- I don't understand what you put in the command string. Does this give access
- to functions in menus but not supported thru DDE? If not then what do they do?
- What is the format? I have been thru the documentation but haven't seen an
- explanation, but with 5000+ pages it is quite possible I just missed it.
-
- I have another question about some disappearing resources according to
- sysmeter. Every couple of times you run my program the GDI or MEM goes down
- a percent or two.
-
- I have been looking at Heap Walker (from SDK 3.1) and there are some bitmaps
- of mine in there even though my program is no longer running. Are these my
- lost resources, or is it normal for there to be old resources there. There
- are quite a few bitmaps from the server (a beta version of a commercial
- package) is why I ask. It seems if this is due to improper clean up they
- should know better. I have looked thru the Programming Tools book about
- Heap Walker but it doesn't really help (me) much.
-
- Is there a better way to find lost resources?
-
- Oh, one more thing. The server supports a DDE close message to quit the
- application. How do you close an app with DDE and then disconnect? I have
- taken out the call (so the DDE connection is properly closed) and I still
- lose resources though, so that doesn't appear to be the cause of my lost
- resources.
-
-
- Thanks for any suggestions. E-mail or posting is fine.
