Direct Data Exchange (DDE)

Overview

Commands Supported by DDE Server

Overview

A DDE server which offers you the possibility for remote starting of DA-C commands has been built into DA-C. This means that it is now possible to open projects and files, build databases, and carry out many other DA-C functions via DDE clients, one of which is DACEdit, delivered with DA-C.

If command that shows dialog with results of analysis is executed through DDE, messages will be saved in file with default name (for example "Static Code Analysis.txt") and that dialog will not be shown. This is useful when DA-C is started from makefile or batch file.

Commands Supported by DDE Server

- User-Defined Actions macros assigned in the same format as an individual line in User-Defined Actions. These commands are marked with (*) in "Appendix C - User-Defined Actions Macros".

- User-Defined Actions commands as they appear on the Start menu (eg. "My Action") or <MyAction> or "Start::UDA Script Name" or <Start::UDAScriptName> (e.g. Start::MyAction).

- Menu commands in "Menu::Command" format, see list bellow.

- Editor macros in the format in which they are assigned in Editor Macro Language files. Both primitive and user-defined macros belong in this category.

You can send multiple commands of any type simultaneously if separated by a semicolon.
