PRB: Win32s Limits DDE Atom Strings

 * }

Q147847

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Win32s version 1.3

-

SYMPTOMS
Win32s limits the length of DDE atom strings to 80 characters. If a string of more than 80 characters is specified, the string will be truncated and you won't be able match your atoms to those supplied with DDE messages.

CAUSE
By design, this is a Win32s limit. No change to Win32s on this matter is likely.

RESOLUTION
The only way to avoid this behavior is to keep your DDE names strings to less than 80 characters.

STATUS
This behavior is by design.
