I have a couple of programs that do this in VB. Unfortunately they 
are coupled into larger programs or have ActiveX components. I may 
try to strip out the relevent code "sanitize it", and put it into a 
project or two and write up some documentation if I find the time 
during the coming weeks.

Hi,

Does somebody know some way to run the TWS application unattended?
What I need is:
1- Avoid the login screen, passing parameters (UserName and 

Password) from

my calling application.
2- Respond to the message window asking 'Accept incoming connection
attempt?' when I connect to the local server.

This is because I'm writting my own program (Visual Basic using TWS 

ActiveX)

which allways runs in the background and want it to automatically 

launch TWS

few minutes before markets open and perform some automated tasks 

when I'm

not at home.

I've tried to launch TWS from my application with a call 

to 'ShellExecute',

passing parameters as 'username' or 'user' without success. I 

always get the

login screen blank because I ignore if TWS accepts such parameters 

and how

they must be coded (I think this must be possible because in the 

web demo,

the login screen appears whith such fields pre-filled with 'edemo' 

and

'demouser'). Perhaps in some 'ini' file? (I've not found any 

section related

to username and password).

Thanks for any help.

Michel.
