server-active-p

Arguments: dde-info

Returns true if the Lisp process of the argument dde-info is currently running as a DDE server, and returns nil otherwise. This is true for any process after the process has called open-server and before it later calls either close-server or close-dde or it exits. Call dde-info to retrieve the dde-info object for a particular Lisp process.

Compatibility note: Prior to release 6.1, this information was contained in a global variable, but that design did not allow the DDE facility to work in multiple processes other than Common Graphics processes. So the variable was changed incompatibly to this function. Any application that used the *server-active-p* variable must change the reference to a call to server-active-p.

See dde.htm for information about DDE support.
