/dde Command - mIRC
< mirc‎ | commands

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a form of communication between two applications on a windows machine. The /dde command can be used to create a dde connection with a dde server. When the topic parameter is required, you can use empty quotes ("") to indicate a blank topic.

Transactions[edit]

The dde command support three different types of transactions:

  • XTYP_POKE - Used by default, sends unsolicited data to the server.
  • XTYP_REQUEST - Used to request data from a server.
  • XTYP_EXECUTE - Used to send a command string to the server.

The only time the [data] parameter is required is when the XTYP_POKE transaction type is used.

Synopsis[edit]

Parameters[edit]
