From: Ernst Tanaka Date: 2008-01-09T01:38:22+09:00 Subject: dde "wait loop" I have a question on DDE I use the following command; d = tk_call('dde', 'request', 'TOS', 'DESCRIPTION', x.opra) it seems that the call doesnot always give data while I am sure data is available. Tested via a dde call in a spreadsheet. Could it be that that my program is not waiting long enough for the DDE response. Appreciate any help. Ernst T -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
