DDEhSetMode

Set the mode of the DDE conversation. The default mode of a DDE conversation is to use TEXT data format - a simple string of data. This function allows you to set the mode to CSV (Comma Separated Values). Some Windows applications support this mode of data as it helps them to separate the data. For example, when you send CSV format to Excel, each value will be placed into a unique cell. If you use TEXT mode all the data will be placed into the same cell.
