We’ve just installed Weather-Watch and got it working nicely. But we’ve also got some software that we use that needs to take the wind speed and direction in real-time, and in the past it has done this via a DDE link from the (now discarded) WeatherView package. I see from the web that Weather Display supports DDE, but it’s not clear whether it functions as a DDE source or a destination. I also can’t find anything to suggest how to set it up.
Does anyone know if we can we get Weather Display to act as a DDE source of wind speed & direction data ?
If so, can you point me in the right direction for the info on setting up our client, which needed this kind of stuff for the WeatherView package:
DDESpeed.LinkTopic = "wvdde|wvdata"
DDEDir.LinkTopic = "wvdde|wvdata"
DDESpeed.LinkItem = "avg_1_min_windspeed"
DDEDir.LinkItem = "wind_direction"
DDESpeed.LinkMode = 1
DDEDir.LinkMode = 1
and would presumably need something similar but different for a DDE link to the Weather Display package.
Any advice gratefully received.
