DDE linking between MapInfo 64bit and a 32bit exe.

  • 1.  DDE linking between MapInfo 64bit and a 32bit exe.

    Posted 01-23-2018 14:06

    I'm trying to link between a 64bit MapBasic program and 32 bit VB program with MapX

    The DDEInitiate function does return a value, but the DDEPoke action returns an error 698 "Cannot initiate link." I presume this is because DDE will not work between 64bit and 32bit applications.

    Does anyone know if there is any way of enabling this link? I possibly could write out a txt file from MB and then look for that in the VB application when it gets focus but didn't really want to have to do that.

    Cheers
