The ReuseDDElParam function enables an application to reuse a packed DDE lParam parameter, rather than allocating a new packed lParam. Using this function reduces reallocations for applications that pass packed DDE messages.
LPARAM ReuseDDElParam( LPARAM lParam, // posted lParam to be reused UINT msgIn, // received message UINT msgOut, // posted message UINT_PTR uiLo, // low-order word of new lParam UINT_PTR uiHi // high-order word of new lParam );
The return value is the new lParam value.
The return value must be posted as the lParam parameter of a DDE message; it must not be used for any other purpose. Once the return value is posted, the posting application need not perform any action to dispose of the lParam parameter.
Use ReuseDDElParam instead of FreeDDElParam if the lParam parameter will be reused in a responding message. ReuseDDElParam returns the lParam appropriate for reuse.
This function allocates or frees lParam parameters as needed, depending on the packing requirements of the incoming and outgoing messages. This reduces reallocations in passing DDE messages.
