New Error Codes
Table 6 lists new DDE Library error codes.
Multithreading
The DDE Library is now multithread safe when used on Windows 95/NT in a standalone
executable or in a DLL called from a standalone executable. A few restrictions exist, however,
that you must observe. These restrictions stem from limitations of the Windows DDE:
• After you call RegisterDDEServer to register your program as a server, you must
make all subsequent function calls that apply to the server in the same thread in which
you called
RegisterDDEServer .
• After you call ConnectToDDEServer to create a client connection, you must make all
subsequent functions calls that apply to the connection in the same thread in which you
called
ConnectToDDEServer .
