     * @param afCmd A set of APPCMD_, CBF_, and MF_ flags. The APPCMD_ flags
     * provide special instructions to DdeInitialize. The CBF_ flags specify
     * filters that prevent specific types of transactions from reaching the
     * callback function. The MF_ flags specify the types of DDE activity that a
     * DDE monitoring application monitors. Using these flags enhances the
     * performance of a DDE application by eliminating unnecessary calls to the
     * callback function.
