Glink: API reference manual Gallagher & Robertson
Attributes are returned in binary format with 16 bits
per character position. The significance of the attri-
bute bits is as for the returned attributes in the
VidGet request.
XfrSts This request returns the current file transfer status
and is typically used in the same way as LinSts.
Applications may link to the XfrSts item before
starting a transfer (this should provide a status of
'transfer pending' until the transfer is actually initi-
ated). Advisements from XfrSts will be posted as
the status of the transfer changes. In the case of a
transfer failure additional error codes are provided
after the status information; these follow the standard
codes for UVTI as defined in the supplied UVTI.H
header file. Note that if you have 'hooked' the com-
munications line using one of the other DDE requests
then you must post the relevant unadvise to unhook it
before starting the transfer, or the file transfer will
not be correctly processed.
The following values are used for status return:
0 initiating transfer
1 transfer terminated with error (see below)
2 transfer terminated normally
3 file transfer in progress
