Description

Read Text to get the text that is updated by the DDE server application. Text is updated automatically by the DDE server. When Text is changed by the server, an OnChange event occurs.

Set the Text property to poke data to the DDE server.

Text corresponds to the Lines property. Whenever the value of Lines or Text is updated, the other is also changed so that the first line of Lines is always equal to Text.

For text data longer than the 255 character limit of Text, use the Lines property.

Note: Data can also be sent to the DDE server by calling the PokeData method of the DDE client conversation.
