Description

Specifies the topic of a DDE conversation

Use DdeTopic to indicate the server-defined topic name of the DDE conversation. Typically, DdeTopic is a file name (with path, if necessary) used by the server application. If the DDE client is linked to a TDdeServerConv component, DdeTopic is the name of the server conversation component rather than the form caption.

At design time, specify DdeTopic either by typing the DdeTopic name in the object inspector or by choosing Paste Link in the DDE Info dialog box. To establish a link at runtime, specify the service and topic with the SetLink method.

Note: The server application defines the topic names available for a DDE conversation. See the documentation for the DDE server application for specific information about the names of available topics.
