I’m looking for a way of replacing the DDE component in SC 6.1.1 by any other means that will permit to send data and actions from an external application into the SC client.
For the moment we’re using DDE to our content but we encounter some disadvantages. One is the use within Citrix sessions. If the applicaties are not started from the same server, DDE doesn’t function between the two applications. The other will be the uncertain future of DDE, an older and depreciated method for MS, so there is always a possibilty that Peregrine can drop support within the next version(s).
Now, what are the alternatives? Most of the solutions I see act on the server-side and not the client-side. Is it possible to change the eclipse client or maybe the web client in such a way that this becomes possible?
Does somebody have seen a working solution?
