\section{\class{wxDDEConnection}}\label{wxddeconnection}
|
|
|
|
A wxDDEConnection object represents the connection between a client and a
|
|
server. It can be created by making a connection using a\rtfsp
|
|
\helpref{wxDDEClient}{wxddeclient} object, or by the acceptance of a connection by a\rtfsp
|
|
\helpref{wxDDEServer}{wxddeserver} object. The bulk of a DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
|
|
conversation is controlled by
|
|
calling members in a {\bf wxDDEConnection} object or by overriding its
|
|
members.
|
|
|
|
An application should normally derive a new connection class from
|
|
wxDDEConnection, in order to override the communication event handlers
|
|
to do something interesting.
|
|
|
|
This DDE-based implementation is available on Windows only,
|
|
but a platform-independent, socket-based version
|
|
of this API is available using \helpref{wxTCPConnection}{wxtcpconnection}.

\membersection{wxDDEConnection::wxDDEConnection}\label{wxddeconnectionctor}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxDDEConnection}{\void}
|
|
|
|
\func{}{wxDDEConnection}{\param{char* }{buffer}, \param{int}{ size}}
|
|
|
|
Constructs a connection object. If no user-defined connection object is
|
|
to be derived from wxDDEConnection, then the constructor should not be
|
|
called directly, since the default connection object will be provided on
|
|
requesting (or accepting) a connection. However, if the user defines his
|
|
or her own derived connection object, the \helpref{wxDDEServer::OnAcceptConnection}{wxddeserveronacceptconnection}\rtfsp
|
|
and/or \helpref{wxDDEClient::OnMakeConnection}{wxddeclientonmakeconnection} members should be replaced by
|
|
functions which construct the new connection object. If the arguments of
|
|
the wxDDEConnection constructor are void, then a default buffer is
|
|
associated with the connection. Otherwise, the programmer must provide a
|
|
a buffer and size of the buffer for the connection object to use in
|
|
transactions.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::Advise}\label{wxddeconnectionadvise}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{Advise}{\param{const wxString\& }{item}, \param{const char* }{data}, \param{int}{ size = -1}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format = wxCF\_TEXT}}
|
|
|
|
Called by the server application to advise the client of a change in
|
|
the data associated with the given item. Causes the client
|
|
connection's \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnAdvise}{wxddeconnectiononadvise}
|
|
member to be called. Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::Execute}\label{wxddeconnectionexecute}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{Execute}{\param{char* }{data}, \param{int}{ size = -1}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format = wxCF\_TEXT}}
|
|
|
|
Called by the client application to execute a command on the server. Can
|
|
also be used to transfer arbitrary data to the server (similar
|
|
to \helpref{wxDDEConnection::Poke}{wxddeconnectionpoke} in that respect). Causes the
|
|
server connection's \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnExecute}{wxddeconnectiononexecute} member to be
|
|
called. Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::Disconnect}\label{wxddeconnectiondisconnect}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{Disconnect}{\void}
|
|
|
|
Called by the client or server application to disconnect from the other
|
|
program; it causes the \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnDisconnect}{wxddeconnectionondisconnect} message
|
|
to be sent to the corresponding connection object in the other
|
|
program. The default behaviour of {\bf OnDisconnect} is to delete the
|
|
connection, but the calling application must explicitly delete its
|
|
side of the connection having called {\bf Disconnect}. Returns true if
|
|
successful.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnAdvise}\label{wxddeconnectiononadvise}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual bool}{OnAdvise}{\param{const wxString\& }{topic}, \param{const wxString\& }{item}, \param{char* }{data}, \param{int}{ size}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format}}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the client application when the server notifies it of a
|
|
change in the data associated with the given item.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnDisconnect}\label{wxddeconnectionondisconnect}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual bool}{OnDisconnect}{\void}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the client or server application when the other
|
|
application notifies it to delete the connection. Default behaviour is
|
|
to delete the connection object.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnExecute}\label{wxddeconnectiononexecute}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual bool}{OnExecute}{\param{const wxString\& }{topic}, \param{char* }{data}, \param{int}{ size}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format}}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the server application when the client notifies it to
|
|
execute the given data. Note that there is no item associated with
|
|
this message.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnPoke}\label{wxddeconnectiononpoke}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual bool}{OnPoke}{\param{const wxString\& }{topic}, \param{const wxString\& }{item}, \param{char* }{data}, \param{int}{ size}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format}}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the server application when the client notifies it to
|
|
accept the given data.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnRequest}\label{wxddeconnectiononrequest}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual const char*}{OnRequest}{\param{const wxString\& }{topic}, \param{const wxString\& }{item}, \param{int *}{size}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format}}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the server application when the client
|
|
calls \helpref{wxDDEConnection::Request}{wxddeconnectionrequest}. The server
|
|
should respond by returning a character string from {\bf OnRequest},
|
|
or NULL to indicate no data.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnStartAdvise}\label{wxddeconnectiononstartadvise}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual bool}{OnStartAdvise}{\param{const wxString\& }{topic}, \param{const wxString\& }{item}}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the server application by the client, when the client
|
|
wishes to start an `advise loop' for the given topic and item. The
|
|
server can refuse to participate by returning false.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::OnStopAdvise}\label{wxddeconnectiononstopadvise}
|
|
|
|
\func{virtual bool}{OnStopAdvise}{\param{const wxString\& }{topic}, \param{const wxString\& }{item}}
|
|
|
|
Message sent to the server application by the client, when the client
|
|
wishes to stop an `advise loop' for the given topic and item. The
|
|
server can refuse to stop the advise loop by returning false, although
|
|
this doesn't have much meaning in practice.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::Poke}\label{wxddeconnectionpoke}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{Poke}{\param{const wxString\& }{item}, \param{const char* }{data}, \param{int}{ size = -1}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format = wxCF\_TEXT}}
|
|
|
|
Called by the client application to poke data into the server. Can be
|
|
used to transfer arbitrary data to the server. Causes the server
|
|
connection's \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnPoke}{wxddeconnectiononpoke} member
|
|
to be called. Returns true if successful.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::Request}\label{wxddeconnectionrequest}
|
|
|
|
\func{char*}{Request}{\param{const wxString\& }{item}, \param{int *}{size}, \param{wxIPCFormat}{ format = wxIPC\_TEXT}}
|
|
|
|
Called by the client application to request data from the server. Causes
|
|
the server connection's \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnRequest}{wxddeconnectiononrequest} member to be called. Returns a
|
|
character string (actually a pointer to the connection's buffer) if
|
|
successful, NULL otherwise.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::StartAdvise}\label{wxddeconnectionstartadvise}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{StartAdvise}{\param{const wxString\& }{item}}
|
|
|
|
Called by the client application to ask if an advise loop can be started
|
|
with the server. Causes the server connection's \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnStartAdvise}{wxddeconnectiononstartadvise}\rtfsp
|
|
member to be called. Returns true if the server okays it, false
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
\membersection{wxDDEConnection::StopAdvise}\label{wxddeconnectionstopadvise}
|
|
|
|
\func{bool}{StopAdvise}{\param{const wxString\& }{item}}
|
|
|
|
Called by the client application to ask if an advise loop can be
|
|
stopped. Causes the server connection's \helpref{wxDDEConnection::OnStopAdvise}{wxddeconnectiononstopadvise} member
|
|
to be called. Returns true if the server okays it, false otherwise.
