Are you using .NET or C++?

No, DDEX is tooling for database access from within Visual Studio
itself, it is not for accessing a database from your application.

If you are using .NET, know that questions about use in .NET should go
to the Firebird .NET provider mailinglist. See
http://www.firebirdsql.org/en/mailing-lists/ for instructions to subscribe.

As far as I know the Firebird .NET provider no longer supports Windows
CE, so you need to find out which version still supported it (ask on the
Firebird .NET provider mailinglist) and download it from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/files/firebird-net-provider/
You may need to compile it yourself.
