New subject: Native DDE problems

Very Cool!
Thanks for your prompt answer.
Please send me the patch.
I will surely test it!
Just one question on your answer, my two apps are called DISP.EXE and PDV.EXE
Is one of them 16 and the other 32 bit ?
If I recompile both of them to 32 bit or 16 bit, should DDE work?
I can also try that.
Frankly, I didn´t even know that one was 16 and the other 32 bit.

The http://www.winehq.com/News/status.html states that the implementation
of the serial/parallel port
is 90% complete but that DDE is still being implemented by Eric Pouech and
not functional.
the status page is now a bit outdated
DDE (and DDEML) now kinda work
however, some 16 bit support is still missing in DDE (and DDEML), hence
your
problems as the trace shows
as of today :

two 32 bit apps should be able to communicate through DDE
two 16 bit apps should be able to communicate through DDE
however, a 16 bit and a 32 bit app will not be able to communicate

I have a yet unfinished patch here that should (partly) take care of
that
if you have the wine source and are ready to do some testing, I can
provide
you the patch to see if it helps in your situation
as DDEML is a pure 16 bit DLL (the 32 bit DDEML implementation is part
of
USER32), it's very unlikely that native DDEML will work in wine
so, sticking to builtin USER/USER32/DDEML is the only viable solution
(even
if it's not completly done yet)
A+
