DDEWatch TechSmith Corporation DDE Debugger Dynamic Data Exchange Monitor Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is the way that today's powerful Windows applications communicate. Until now, you could not monitor these DDE messages or validate your DDE macros and programs. Now there is DDEWatch, a tool to let you see DDE. With DDEWatch you can scrutinize each DDE message, concentrate on selected DDE sessions, learn the DDE protocol, and improve the quality of your code. View DDE Messages in Detail DDEWatch gives you a window into the world of DDE messages. With it, you can view the details of any DDE message. DDEWatch displays the message type (e.g. initiate or ack). The name of the application, topic, or item and the symbolic name of each bit-flag are also displayed. You can even see the data in execute, poke, and data messages. Locate Active DDE Sessions Frequently DDE sessions run simultaneously which can be confusing. But DDEWatch provides you with a list of all active sessions. From this list, you may select to view messages for only those sessions in which you are interested. Learn DDE With DDEWatch you can learn the DDE protocol by observing interactions between programs like Excel and Word for Windows. You will see how the initiate is broadcast to all applications, how an advise is usually followed by a request, and how two applications negotiate a common data format. Improve Program Quality Using DDEWatch, you can improve the quality of the macros and programs you write. For example, you can verify that the flags are set correctly, the memory has been properly allocated, and the data is correct. Then you can document this quality by logging the DDE messages into a file. Available Now DDEWatch for Windows 3.x is available now for $85. Call or write us to place your order. Visa / Master Card.
