Description
The command DDE_Request sends a request to the target application.
The format of the request depends on the target application. For example, to obtain the contents of an Excel cell, you pass with request either the name of the cell, or its location, as in "R3C5", for the third row in the fifth column.
If the communication has been opened directly by the application, passing System as a parameter in DDE_Initiate, the DDE standard specifies that a "SysItems" request can be effected to return the list of all potential requests.
As a rule, applications respond to "Topics", "Status", and "Format" requests.
