Description

The macro define-dde-server defines a class for a Lisp DDE server. The class inherits from dde-server.

The long form of the macro is similar to defclass, but with one extra class option, :service, which is used to specify the service name string to which this server will respond. If superclasses is nil, then the single superclass of class-name will be dde-server. subclass of dde-server. If superclasses is non-nil, it should include subclass of dde-server. slot-specs and standard-class-option are used as the slot specifications and class options of the new class.

The short form is provided to handle the common simple case; class-name is the name of the Lisp class to be defined, and service-name is the service name string to which this server will respond.

Examples

The first example uses the short version of define-dde-server to define a class, called lisp-server, which has the service name "LISP".

(define-dde-server lisp-server "LISP") 

The second example shows how to use the long for of the macro to define the same class, and illustrates the use of superclasses and a class-option.

(define-dde-server lisp-server (dde-server)
  ()
  (:service "LISP"))
