DDEUnLink (Function)

In french: DDEFinLien

Interrupts a link between an item and a data.

Remark: Breaking a "warm" or "hot" link with a data means that the program will no longer be notified by the server (connected program) when the linked data is modified (the "L1C1" cell of the "Sheet1" worksheet in the example below).

Example

MyConnection = DDEConnect("Excel", "Worksheet1")
// Same for DDEWarmLink
DDELink(MyConnection, "L1C1", 1)
// Various operations
// ...
DDEUnLink(MyConnection, "L1C1", 1)

<Connection identifier>: Integer
