WDDEClient:Init() Method
Construct a DDE client object
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syntax
WDDEClient{ <oParent>, [ <cServer> ] , [ <cTopic> ] , [ <lCreate> ] ,
            [ <lNeedRegClass> ] }   -->   SELF

Arguments
<oParent> is the parent (owner) of the DDE object.

<cServer> optionally specifies the name of the server, as it
identifies itself to Windows.  If you specify the server, the
class automatically starts a conversation with it, otherwise
it makes no attempt to connect to any server.  You can get a
list of all accessible servers using the ServerInfo() method.

<cTopic> is an optional string specifying the topic name.  The
default depends on the server, but is typically taken to mean
any topic or all topics.

<lCreate> specifies whether the object's Create() method is
to be invoked immediately.  Usually you want the default (.T.).

<lNeedRegClass> can be .F. to prevent a window class being
automatically detected/registered.  Usually you want the
default (.T.).

Returns
SELF.

Description
This method initialises a DDE client object.
