3156 Error with DDERequest
Keywords: 3146 Error DDERequest
Question:
What does the following error indicate when using DDERequest?3156 DDEReq: Global lock failed. DDE_REG = DDERequest (channel, "search")I'm getting a valid handle back from DDEInitiate (it returns a non-zero), that I'm then plugging into channel, but when I try to do the DDERequest(channel, item), I'm getting the 3156 error.
What exactly does that error message imply?
Answer:
It means that we called the API function DdeClientTransaction() to request the information from the application, and it returned a valid data handle, but when we tried to access the data using the DdeAccessData() API, it failed. I don't know why that would happen. Maybe you could try increasing DDETimeout?Article ID: W12804
