SORRY, That code should read like this:
HDDEDATA CALLBACK	DDE_CLN_CALLBACK(	// process/dsp DDE packets
UINT			uType,
UINT			uFmt,
HCONV			hconv,
HSZ			hsz1,
HSZ			hsz2,
HDDEDATA		hdata,
DWORD			dwData1,
DWORD			dwData2)
{
if (???)
	return(DDE_FNOTPROCESSED);		// NOT PROCESSED
else
	return(DDE_FACK);			// PROCESSED
}
