Description

Initiates a new DDE conversation.

Call OpenLink to establish a new DDE conversation with the DdeService. If the server application is not running, OpenLink will launch the ServiceApplication. If the conversation is successfully opened, an OnOpen event occurs and OpenLink returns true. If the conversation isn't successfully opened, OpenLink returns false.

Note: If ConnectMode is ddeAutomatic, OpenLink is called automatically when the DdeTopic and DdeService are specified by SetLink.
