Overview
Everyone knows it's possible to transfer data between Windows applications - the problem is how! Making Windows Applications Work Together is the solution: an easy, step-by-step guide to sharing information between Windows applications. Practical and project-oriented, this book will save you hours of time. First, you'll learn the principal methods of sharing information between applications. With those basics in hand, you'll be ready to orchestrate the data in two or more applications, and create complex, impressive results. Dozens of examples demystify the information-sharing process. For each project, you'll find universal procedures, followed by illustrated examples. Simply look up the program combination you want, and follow along with the step-by-step instructions. Most techniques involve using simple menu commands and dialog boxes. All of them work for both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 and some actually allow you to share data between DOS and Windows applications.Bestselling computer book author Alan Neibauer uses a non-technical jargon-free approach to explain how Windows lets you perform common tasks and share information between applications with OLE, DDE, the clipboard, drag and drop, file inserting, and exporting and importing. Includes chapters on sharing data in the new Microsoft Windows 95 operating environment.
