TextPad and DDE w/ Vignette 5.6 Development Center

[Matt]

Hi,
I'm trying to use TextPad as an external editor for the Vignette 5.6 Development Center. This application has a place to specify the external editor and then has an option for DDE (check box) If this box is checked then three other input fields become available. Message: Application: Topic: I am assuming these are DDE related and help the two applications talk together. Does anyone know what should be entered in these fields?

Thanks in advance,
Matt

These are my settings for the Windows Explorer. They should be similar to the ones you have to enter in Vignette.

Message:
[open("%1")]

Application:
TextPad

You can find a little bit about DDE in the TextPad Help (search for it).

Maybe in Vignette the current file is not represented by %1. Then you have to replace this by the according macro.
