Hello !
I'm currently trying to communicate with Code::Blocks. I've read this page (http://www.codeblocks.org/docs/main_codeblocks_en3.html#x3-230001.11.2) which tells us that it is possible to send command to codeblocks via Dynamic Data Exchange.
Maybe it is a lack of knowledge from me, but I find that the documentation is not really helping.
I went to the msdn page about using DDE but I'm not familliar with this protocol either.
I've seen this code example from msdn :
static BOOL fInInitiate = FALSE;
char *szApplication;
char *szTopic;
atomApplication = *szApplication == 0 ?
NULL : GlobalAddAtom((LPSTR) szApplication);
atomTopic = *szTopic == 0 ?
NULL : GlobalAddAtom((LPSTR) szTopic);
fInInitiate = TRUE;
SendMessage((HWND) HWND_BROADCAST, // broadcasts message
WM_DDE_INITIATE, // initiates conversation
(WPARAM) hwndClientDDE, // handle to client DDE window
MAKELONG(atomApplication, // application-name atom
atomTopic)); // topic-name atom
fInInitiate = FALSE;
if (atomApplication != NULL)
GlobalDeleteAtom(atomApplication);
if (atomTopic != NULL)
GlobalDeleteAtom(atomTopic);
Using this non-talking sample and other code part from different place, I couldn't manage to get codeblocks to respond to my WM_DDE_INITIATE message.
Could you, please, tell me what do I have to send to get codeblocks to anwser me ?
Any help could be usefull :)
