DDE Help Please :)

Using Delphi 2 in windows 95 and trying to interface 'mIRC' the irc
chat progam.

Hi, im having trouble with DDE , I can send data to servers fine but
when i try to set up as a server i cant get it going.
How do i know what the Service name of my applications DDE server is?
and the topic and the item names?

The help explains the topic but not anything else. Also the help says
use the copy to clipboard to test your link, well i do this, but what
then? I tryed to use the clipborad viewer but that said it cannot view
the data?

Please help me :)

Also if anyone knows anything about using the 'WaveInOpen' api
commands i would appreciate help.. I cant get anything to go, the help
is to cryptic for me :) Any snippit of code would be fantastic!

Please help me again :)

Hi Tim,

have You tried GetPasteLinkInfo(Server,Topic,Item) with the three
arguments as Strings yet? This should work fine on Your DDE client to
receive information about the DDE server. Of course, You will still have
to set the ServerApplication property.

I hope, this will help You!
