PRB: DDE with IE Does Not Work As ExpectedLast reviewed: October 3, 1997Article ID: Q167826 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen executing a DDE transaction with Internet Explorer (IE, 16-bit or 32- bit), IE does not seem to communicate to the application as expected.
CAUSEInternet Explorer's DDE implementation is based upon the Spyglass SDI spec, which mandates that all specified quoted strings use the \" character combination. Not correctly prefixing a string with the \" character combination when IE expects a quoted string, could cause this problem.
RESOLUTIONWhen specifying a quoted string, whether as an application, topic, item name, or as an argument, always use the \" character combination.
STATUSThis behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATIONThe Spyglass SDI specification defines a standard notation to indicate argument types. Specifically, all names prefixed with qs, indicating a quoted string, should use the \" character combination to embed a quote character within a quoted string. To obtain more information on the standard notation for various other argument types, please refer to the "Notation" section of the Spyglass SDI specification.
