The NDdeShareGetInfo function is called to retrieve DDE share information from the DSDM. This is usually done for editing.

Parameters

lpszServer

Address of the server name on which the DSDM resides.

nLevel

Must be 2.

lpBuffer

Address of a buffer that is to accept the NDDESHAREINFO structure and associated data pointed to by NDDESHAREINFO pointer fields. This field can be NULL. If lpBuffer is NULL, then the DSDM calculates the number of bytes required to store the requested share information and returns that value in the lpnTotalAvailable field along with the NDDE_BUF_TOO_SMALL error.

cBufSize

Defines the size of the buffer addressed by the lpBuffer field. If lpBuffer is NULL, then cBufSize should be 0.

lpnTotalAvailable

lpnItems

Address of an item selection mask for partial share information retrieval. For the first release of Windows NT, the item selection mask must be 0.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is NDDE_NO_ERROR.

If the function fails, the return value is an error code, which can be translated into a text error message by calling NDdeGetErrorString. If the lpBuffer parameter is NULL, it returns NDDE_BUF_TOO_SMALL.
