ynamic ata xchange. DDE is a form of interprocess communication implemented in multitasking operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and OS/2. Information, commands, and status information can be exchanged between two or more programs if they support DDE and are executing simultaneously. For example, a spreadsheet with a DDE link to a communications program could keep its stock prices current with the trading information received over the communications channel. An exchange of data in DDE is called a conversation and an application can participate simultaneously in multiple DDE conversations with any number of other applications. A conversation is organized around three conceptual descriptors: service, topic, and item.
A protocol for allowing different software applications or programs to share information.
DDE permits the updating of data that was pasted and linked to another Windows application.
Direct Data Exchange. An older Microsoft Windows technology for automatically moving information between applications resident in memory via the clipboard.
Dynamic Data Exchange. This is a standard inter-application communication feature used in Windows applications. DDE enables two running applications to share the same data For more information, see your Windows documentation.
Dynamic Data Exchange. pSOS
Acronym for Dynamic Data Exchange. This is a form of interprocess communications used by Microsoft Windows to support the exchange of commands and data between two simultaneously running applications.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A method of interprocess communications with Windows. When two or more DDE applications are running, they can exchange data and commands.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A limited method of sharing data between two applications or files. When data is used in both files, with DDE it can be automatically updated in the other. Both applications have to be in use, and DDE does not work over a network. Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) is a more sophisticated development.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a form of InterProcess Communication (IPC) in the Microsoft Windows operating environemnt. When two or more applications that support DDE are running simultaneously, they can exchange information, data and commands. DDE has been enhanced with Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology.

Dynamic Data Exchange, Microsoft's protocol to communicate between Windows applications
Dynamic Data Exchange. An interprocess communication method that allows two or more programs running simultaneously to exchange data and commands.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A Microsoft Windows 3 hotlink protocol that allows applications programs to communicate using a client-server model. Whenever the server (or "publisher") modifies part of a document, which is being shared via DDE, one or more clients ("subscribers") are informed and include the modification in the copy of the data on which they are working.
Dynamic Data Exchange. This is a method of inter-process communication under Microsoft Windows.
dynamic data exchange. A protocol that allows applications to exchange data on a real-time basis by means of messages passed between windows.
Dynamic data exchange. Importing data from one program to another while keeping the two files linked so that a change in the target application file also changes the original file. See also Compound Document and OLE (Object Linking and Embedding.)
A mechanism used in Windows to transfer data between two applications or two separate instances of the same application. Windows itself uses DDE for a variety of purposes, from opening documents in running applications when a document icon is double-clicked in the shell to obtaining program icons for DOS applications. DDE is also used to support OLE.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A software protocol in Microsoft Windows for inter-application communication. DDE allows a data acquisition application to share data real-time with Windows applications such as Microsoft Excel. DDE is an older protocol that has been replaced with COM and .Net protocols.
Dynamic Data Exchange DDE is an interprocess communication system built into the Macintosh, Windows and OS/2 operating systems. DDE enables two running applications to share the same data. So, if you have a file that is connected to another document over DDE and you change that file, all documents or files communicating with the altered file will be updated accordingly.
Dynamic Data Exchange. DDE is a method of passing information between Windows applications. You can pass addressing information from other Windows applications to the Zetafax client, removing the need to address the fax manually using the addressing dialog box.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A data transfer mechanism available within Microsoft® Windows that allows computer programs to directly exchange data. For example, Weather Display can make its data available to Microsoft Excel spreadsheets using DDE.
Dynamic Data Exchange. An inter-process communication method featured in Microsoft Windows and OS/2. DDE allows two or more programs that are running simultaneously to exchange data and commands. In Windows 3.1, DDE was largely supplanted by OLE, which is an extension of DDE. In Windows 95 and Windows NT, OLE and Active X are more commonly used.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A feature that allows two Windows programs to share data. PassageWay(tm) Telephony Services DDE links the system's telephone features with other Windows applications so users can have programs such as databases and PIMs that mirror AT&TCall's call processing features. (See also OLE.)
Dynamic Data Exchange, A form of interprocess communication implemented in Microsoft Windows and OS/2 which allows data from different applications to be easily shared.
Windows Dynamic Data Exchange. A standard software method for communicating between applications under Microsoft Windows. Created by Microsoft starting with Windows 3.1. DDE is being replaced by OLE for process control, OPC.
Refers to the process of Dynamic Data Exchange.
Short for Dynamic Data Exchange; the method by which different applications can communicate with eachother. For example, installation programs use DDE to communicate with your Start Menu (or the Program Manager in Windows 3.x) to add new program icons. See OLE.
Dynamic Data Exchange - A Windows feature that allows two or more programs to exchange data and commands. BlieZone uses DDE to talk to HLLAPI programs.
Acronym for Dynamic Data Exchange, an interprocess communication (IPC) system built into the Macintosh, Windows, and OS/2 operating systems. DDE enables two running applications to share the same data. For example, DDE makes it possible to insert a spreadsheet chart into a document created with a word processor. Whenever the spreadsheet data changes, the chart in the document changes accordingly.
Dynamic Data Exchange. An IAC protocol developed by Microsoft for Windows-based applications. DDE allows one application to send messages to, and get information from, other applications in Windows. This is specific to Windows only (RPC, Remote Procedure Calls, is used in the UNIX environment). DDE is supported in ArcView Version 2 for the exchange of data with other business applications without having to convert the data or leave ArcView. (See IAC.)
DYNAMIC DATA EXCHANGE. A Microsoft Windows standard mechanism for communication between programs. It allows your application to send and share data with other applications such as spreadsheets.
Dynamic Data Exchange. A standard Microsoft Windows protocol that defines a way for Windows applications to share information with one another.
An older standard protocol for establishing communication channels between dissimilar programs and exchanging data on a real-time basis in a format that everyone can understand. Programs could either be on the same PC or on different PCs in a Windows for Workgroups network environment. A DDE link is initiated by a client. Three elements (application, topic, and item) in a DDE message identify the desired data. Application is the name of the DDE server. Topic refers to a category of data from the server. Item identifies a particular piece of data in the topic. DDE has been replaced in large part by OPC.
dynamic data exchange. A form of interprocess communication (IPC) implemented in the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. Two or more programs that support dynamic data exchange (DDE) can exchange information and commands. See also: Network DDE service
Dynamic Data Exchange. A system that allows two applications programs to be linked together so that a change made in one application is immediately reflected in the other.
