This article discuss an inter-process communication protocol dedicated for sharing data and perform remote function call between applications. Introduction   DDE Application (DDEApp) is a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) based inter-process communication protocol created to exchange data and perform functions call between applications. Back in 2009, when I was still programming in Borland C++ Builder, I needed to find a solution to call function remotely between two applications. We had decided to make use of DDE for this purpose. Using VCL control in Borland, we managed to get DDE up within few days. However, soon we realized that existing DDE protocol was not able to fully meet our requirement. About DDEApp   DDEApp a command line inter-process communication protocol implemented based on DDE. It contains a client and host class named as below. C# Borland C++

DDEApp LIBRARY USER GUIDE Supported OS Windows 32-bit Supported Platform Borland C++ Builder 6 V1.3.12 Borland Developer Studio 2006 V1.3.12 Microsoft.NET (Framework 2.0) V2.0.0 Introduction DDEApp is an application communication framework based on DDE communication protocol in order to exchange information between applications. This library was first designed to simplify and standardize DDE implementation for applications built on Borland C++ platforms. We have further extended the library to .NET framework to provide bridge between .NET applications and C++ applications.
