Nope;-) DDE is *not* the way to *call* editor, in our case it's more of a way
for the *editor* to call e-mail client! For example, I've made a toolbar button in
WinEdt that runs the following script:
DDEOpen("c:\pmail\winpm-32.exe", "WinPMail", "Message");
DDEPoke("Message", "New: Window");
DDEPoke("Message", "Urgent: Y");
DDEPoke("Message", "Mime: Y");
DDEPoke("Message", "Attach: %f,-,-,0");
DDEPoke("Message", "Restore");
DDEClose;
End;
Clicking on this button launchs Pegasus (or activates it if it's already running),
starts a new message and attaches the currently edited file to this message,
then, finally, brings Pegasus on top. What's left is to address the message
properly and click "Send". Now try doing all this with commandline.
BTW, in the example above the file gets attached, but one can easily modify
the macro above to put the file to the *body* of the message. It's *easy*!
And all the problems are eliminated this way: you neither need to close the
editor nor do something else: just click the button (or press a hotkey, which
can be easily assigned to it).
Now what's needed for this to work with TB? Nothing in particular, *only* DDE.
Dixi.
