$dde Identifier - mIRC
< mirc‎ | identifiers

$dde returns the value returned by the specified service name, topic, and item, by sending an XTYP_REQUEST.


Synopsis[edit]

$dde(name, topic, item, delay)

Parameters[edit]

nameThe service name

topicThe topic name

itemThe item name (optional)

delayif specified mIRC will wait <delay> seconds for a reply before giving up, default is 1 second (optional)

Properties[edit]

None


Note: If the value returned by $dde() is too long for mIRC to handle, $dde returns a value of plain text "$error".


Note2: $dde supports one of the old syntax for some identifiers, evaluating '$dde name topic item' works (use 0 if no item, seems to be required sometimes), there's even a -dN switch for the delay: <script>//echo -a $dde mirc server 0"</script>should return the $server value you are connected to.

Example[edit]

//echo My other mIRC is $dde(mirc, connected) to $dde(mirc, server)
