SUMMARY
=======
The following changes have been made from the Windows 3.1 version of DDEML to
the version that shipped with Windows for Workgroups (WFW) version 3.1:
- The default shutdown timeout was changed from 3,000 milliseconds to 30,000
milliseconds.
- DdeQueryConvInfo() added support for the new hwnd and hwndPartner fields.
- DdeQueryConvInfo() added more robust handling for improper setting of the
CONVINFO structure's cb field when called.
- Rewrote DdePostAdvise() to supply the correct count of remaining transactions
to be processed on the same topic!item!format name set for the XTYP_ADVREQ
transaction.
- Disallow synchronous calls if the application is shutting down, or if already
in the middle of a synchronous transaction.
- DdeUninitialize() was fixed to defer processing if called while in the middle
of a synchronous transaction.
- DdeUninitialize() was fixed to dispatch any pending DDE messages and to make
necessary callbacks before quitting.
- Added call to DdeUninitialize() from within DdeClientTransaction() when in
the middle of a synchronous transaction and DdeUninitialize() had been
called.
- Allow any instance to call DdeCreateStringHandle().
- Have DdeAbandonTransaction() only mark abandoned transactions, rather than
trying to remove the transaction from internal structures.
- Alter PostMessage() overflow queuing to queue based on target instead of on
the same task, so that one target queue overflow does not bog down all
PostMessage() calls.
