DDE in VB.NET

[bbj]

Hi:

 

I use the following code to send to PageMaker 7.0 some commands

 

Sub ExecuteCmd(cmd as string)

lblDDE.LinkTimeout = -1

lblDDE.LinkTopic = "PageMaker| "

lblDDE.LinkItem = "DDE_LINK"

lblDDE.LinkMode = 2

lblDDE.LinkExecute cmd

lblDDE.LinkMode = 0

End Sub

 

How can I do this in VB.NET???

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Boris

DDE is no longer supported in .NET; You should look into the DDE API functions. Look in the MSDN at the API functions beginning with "Dde".

Or, as a last resort:

 

DDE -> COM -> .NET
