Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 39574
ddepoke only transmits first character
Last modified: 2013-02-24 21:08:25 UTC
using DDEPoke to send a string to another application only transmits the first character. The following code snippet shows "recipient(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)" in a dialog box but only transmits "r" channel = DDEInitiate("FAXMNG", "TRANSMIT") data$ = "recipient(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)" msgbox data$ DDEPoke ( channel, "sendfax", data$ ) DDETerminate channel
SW->AB: please have a look at this.
I cannot reproduce the problem as FAXMNG is not known on my system. Is there a more general example that runs on all systems?
well theoretically it is the same for all dde connections. it think there was a faxmng simulation tool which emulates the conversation. if I find it I will post the link. anyway it should be possible to reproduce this bug with any other dde conversation.
I found my version. You can grab it at: http://dentrassi.de/winfax_emu.zip note that this is _not_ an offical winfax version but a sample application that does communication like winfax.
OOo Later
cyb->ab: DDEPoke is not supported anymore, isn't it? Wonder whether this issue should get addressed.
ab->cyb: You're right, I did not realise this. All DDE commands are indeed deprecated -> WONTFIX
