DdeAbandonTransaction function

Abandons the specified asynchronous transaction and releases all resources associated with the transaction.

Syntax


BOOL WINAPI DdeAbandonTransaction(
  _In_ DWORD idInst,
  _In_ HCONV hConv,
  _In_ DWORD idTransaction
);

Parameters

idInst [in]

Type: DWORD

The application instance identifier obtained by a previous call to the DdeInitialize function.

hConv [in]

Type: HCONV

A handle to the conversation in which the transaction was initiated. If this parameter is 0L, all transactions are abandoned (that is, the idTransaction parameter is ignored).

idTransaction [in]

Type: DWORD

The identifier of the transaction to be abandoned. If this parameter is 0L, all active transactions in the specified conversation are abandoned.

Return value

Type: BOOL

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero.

The DdeGetLastError function can be used to get the error code, which can be one of the following values:

DMLERR_DLL_NOT_INITIALIZED
DMLERR_INVALIDPARAMETER
DMLERR_NO_ERROR
DMLERR_UNFOUND_QUEUE_ID

Remarks

Only a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) client application should call DdeAbandonTransaction. If the server application responds to the transaction after the client has called DdeAbandonTransaction, the system discards the transaction results. This function has no effect on synchronous transactions.
