NDdeShareAdd

The NDdeShareAdd function is called to create and add a new DDE share to the DDE Share Database Manager (DSDM).

UINT NDdeShareAdd(
  LPTSTR lpszServer,         // server to execute on
  UINT nLevel,               // info level must be 2
  PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR pSD,  // initial security descriptor
  LPBYTE lpBuffer,           // address of NDDESHAREINFO
  DWORD cBufSize             // size of supplied buffer
);
 

Parameters

lpszServer

Address of the server name on which the DSDM will be modified.

nLevel

Must always be 2.

pSD

Address of the SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR that will be associated with this share and against which access checks will be performed on subsequent initiates to this share. This parameter can optionally be NULL, in which case the DSDM creates a default SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR that grants "Full Control" to the CREATOR_OWNER and "Read and Link" to everyone.

lpBuffer

Address of the NDDESHAREINFO structure that defines the ApplicationTopic list associated with the DDE share being created as well as other parameters. This parameter must not be NULL.

cBufSize

Size of the structure identified by lpBuffer. This parameter must not be 0.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is NDDE_NO_ERROR.

If the function fails, the return value is an error code, which can be translated into a text error message by calling NDdeGetErrorString.

Remarks

Before a client can connect to the DDE share, it must be trusted with NDdeSetTrustedShare.
