I'm trying to have a DDE conversation between PeachTree accounting and a tddeclientconv component in my application. I call setlink with a service and a topic and then repeatedly call pokedata to push some data into the accounting package. Usually at the end of the conversation, I call closelink but during debugging, I comment this call out so that I can review the conversation by expanding an unusually minimized window which appears during the conversation.
When everything is perfect, this works great and the accounting system receives the new data properly. Unfortunately, everything is not always perfect and when something goes wrong, my program goes happily on, oblivious to the troubles. After it tells me that everything worked fine, I go over to the accounting package and the new data is not there. Then I go into that unusually minimized window I mentioned and there I find an explanation. Each of my pokedata calls is listed there, followed by some error comment describing why the poke'd data has been ignored.
My question is...
How can I receive those error comments programmatically so that my program doesn't report false successes?
I already know that the pokedata's boolean return value only reports whether the communication worked and not whether what was communicated was accepted or not.
What would be most helpful is some source code which poke's some data in and then receives and handles the server's response.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Colt. If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid
