>From the documentation (but please note it is not trigger based, has to be
polled):
"A sample Excel file is included in the eSignal installation. You can open
it to see an example of how applications handle DDE. For example, to request
the bid size for IBM, you enter the following formula =WINROS|BidSize!ibm.
The exact way that you request DDE data varies, so be sure to consult your
application's documentation for details."
Look for sample.xls in the eSignal install directory. The keywords
implemented are listed in the online help (some of them had some problems
when I tried them ...).
As per DDEAdvise, just follow a DDE example implemented using the
programming language of your choice.
PS I'm looking for description of API of dbcapi.dll. They no longer make it
available for developers.
