For those of you that need to work with Windows applications that can serve as a DDE Server, like all MS Office applications and for instance MetaTrader, we created the DDE Plug-in.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a technology for communication between multiple applications under Microsoft Windows or OS/2. More information can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Data_Exchange.
With the DDE Plug-in you can get, put and listen for events on the DDE Server.
Not only will it work with a local running server it will also work with a DDE Server running on the same machine as your Servoy Application Server.
When you work locally you need to be on the same platform as the DDE Server, MS Windows.
When you work remoty you can work on any platform supported by Java and Servoy.
The DDE Plug-in will not (yet) work with MS Windows Vista.
You can download the DDE Plug-in via our Update Manager.
The Update Manager Installer can be found at http://www.it2be.com/support/ in the download section.
