DDE Commands |
DDE is an acronym for Dynamic Data Exchange, which is a mechanism of Windows for inter process communication (IPC). Applications can communicate via DDE. Though DDE is a very old mechanism, nearly all windows applications are supporting its commands.
Normally it is not possible to send DDE commands to an application manually (i.e. from a command line), but TeXnicCenter supports a special command line switch '/ddecmd' which sends the specified DDE commands to an already running instance of TeXnicCenter or if there is no instance running, starts up a new instance and execute the DDE commands for that new instance.
The following DDE commands are available:
