DDE-server communication?

Hi!
Do java support DDE-server communication?
If it does can you please breafly explain how to......
If it does in what package is it and what classes are the most "interresting"?
Many thanks in advance!
Marcus

All of the dde functions are in vi.lib\Platform\dde.llb. Other than that, I can't help much. I haven't used dde in many years and never had much success even then.

  • Windows 7 64 bit apps crashing, dde server error

    Hi, I am having problems with a new Windows 7, 64 bit system. Acrobat 9 frequently crashes programs when it's invoked, for instance when trying to print a web page to PDF from Firefox, or making a PDF from a Word document. Firefox or Word will crash, with no errors. Acrobat is also giving these errors freqently: "Fatal error: failed to connect to dde server"
    Other installed apps include MS Office 2007 and Symantec Endpoint Protection, SAS JMP, Endnote.
    thanks for any suggestions.

    could any of you helpful folks who have example code communicating with the dde server of another application please post some 'generic' example code here? (or any related tips) -6.0.2-

  • What does acrobat failed to connect to DDE server mean?

    What does it mean ? Acrobat failed to connect to DDE server

    Hi,
    DDE stands for Dynamic Data Exchange, and it is a way for two programs to communicate with each other. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms648711(v=vs.85).aspx
    Adobe Reader, or (Acrobat Standard/Pro) would be an example of a DDE server, in that when they are open they can accept unsolicited communication from client programs.
    One client could be the fast launch utility.
    Because the DDE server is local to your machine, only a server name needs to be decided upon. For instance prior to version 10 Adobe always used 'Acroview' as it's DDE Server Name. For some reason, Adobe claims 'security', They decided to change the DDE Server name for version 10 to AcroviewR10 for reader, and AcroviewA10 for Acrobat.
    Because there was decades of old code which had never needed to change many programs stopped working, and began claiming that they couldn't connect to Acrobat.
    Adobe, rightly, claimed that it was a bad practice to hard code the DDE Server name into your code, and that a better practice is to get the value from the Registry.
    That would have been helpful but Adobe seems incapable of remembering to update this registry key when upgrading their software, even though they update the setting in their software.
    For instance right now Adobe is setting the DDE Server name in the registry to AcroviewR10 for Reader 11. What is worse is that their software only responds to AcroviewR11.
    So if you hardcode the server name, or create a function to determine what it should be, than you might be ok, but if you accept their good coding practices your applications will fail to work as expected, and your clients will think it is your fault.
    Hope this helps.

  • Error messages - DDE Server Windows itunes.exe - Entry point Not found and iTunesHelper.exe - The procedure entry point asl_add_log_file could not be located in the dynamic link Library ASL.dll

    Hi
            I have tried to research these problems I am getting, but have not been able to resolve them.
    1st is the above DDE Server Windows iTunes.exe - entry point not found.
    This only occurs when I try to start iTunes.
    if I click ok , several times, iTunes will start but slowly.
    If at any time I have to reboot my computer I get
    iTunesHelper.exe - the procedure entry point asl_add_log_file could not be located in the dynamic link library ASL.dll
    if I click 3 times OK it goes away.
    To this end I have uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my machine then gone to iTunes web site and downloaded the latest version.
    Installing it but still get the same errors on reboot and trying to run iTunes
    Anyone any ideas please.
    I have a self build PC it has an Intel core 2 quad Q6000 @ 2.40GHz

    Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
    Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

  • How to get a DDE advise link working on a DDE server with more than one topic on the same service, and with an equal item name?

    When I create a DDE server with serveral topics, all on the same service and with the same item name (different topic), it appears that an advise link does not function properly. It doesn't work at all, it update only when the advise link is terminated or only one of the topics can use an advise link.
    eg.
    On one DDE server I have 2 topics:
    topic1:
    servicename: DDEserver
    topicname : C(1)
    itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
    topic2:
    servicename: DDEserver
    topicname : C(2)
    itemnames : P(1), P(2), P(3)
    Only the topicnames differ!
    Now I can't get an advise link working on one of the items (sometimes on one, but not
    on another).
    Normal (non-advise) links are working fine however.
    (In my case there is no other solution since this DDEserver should be compatible with an older one, created earlier.)

    I really don't know DDE very well. It is usually recommended that you switch to using ActiveX. You may not be correctly configuring the netDDE server. There is an example in the reource library that shows how to do this. You may also want to look at the DDE advise examples that came with LabVIEW 5.1 and earlier.

  • Can't print pdf docs. Keep getting failed to connect to dde server. How do I fix?

    I have Adobe Reader X and I can not open files, or print them. I keep receiving a fatal error-DDE server not found. I have tried reloading Adobe, rebooted, and nothing seems to work. I have no trouble accessing my browser, can print nonadoble files. Everything else is running fine. What can I do?

    Hello,
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Go to ''Tools'' > ''Options'' (or ''Firefox'' > ''Options'').
    #In the Options window, select the ''Applications'' tab.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right handside you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Adobe Reader 9.1 - Fatal Error : Acrobat failed to connect a DDE server

    Hi Everyone,
    I have some users telling me that when they try to open a pdf attachment in Outlook 2007. Nothing happens. The system just sits there as if you did not click on the attachment. If you wait long enought a popup box from adobe reader comes up and says:
    Fatal Error
    Acrobat failed to connect a DDE server.
    All the PDFs are very simple, just simple scanned images or converted over from a document into a PDF.
    I've tried repairing the install and still had no luck - same behaviour. The only way the pdf opens is if we go into task manager and close the AcroRd32.exe process or logoff and log back in.
    If it helps, the most recent system change was the upgrade to IE7 and a new anti-virus software.
    Thanks,
    KEvin

    No solution I am afraid but same problem, running full version of AVG and problem hit immediately after Adobe Reader 9.1 upgrade.  Pretty darn sure problem is in the upgrade but the relevant Restore Point was overwritten before I figured it out.  Any advice welcome.
