Conversation Management

A conversation between a client and a server is always established at the request of the client. When a conversation is established, each partner receives a handle that identifies the conversation. The partners use this handle in other DDEML functions to send transactions and manage the conversation. A client can request a conversation with a single server, or it can request multiple conversations with one or more servers.

The following topics describe how an application establishes new conversations and gets information about existing conversations.
