Poke Message
You can use a Poke message to send information to the DDE server HOSTEX. The Poke message lets you send information to identify a new cursor position, press keys, and set the search string. Poke does not return any information.
Examples

The following function sets the cursor position to position 1761. The variable ChanNum represents the DDE conversation ID.

You can poke only data that exists in a cell.
