Would be really great if IB TAC could expand the array on reqMktData
to include most of all of the input.
That way a third function could be written to extract back the input
data on an id basis.
Imagine a scenario whereby what symbol is selected in a certain
control, changes the symbol displayed in a grid. In order to populate
a cell with expiry for instance, one needs to create an array at
reqMktCall that mirrors the calls arguements. In a situation where
one uses various ranges of the id spectrum, it becomes cumbersome to
sift through the array and extract back out the relevant information
when "rolling" through symbols....
tickPrice and tickType should have another sister:
tickSpecs(long id, string, symbol, string secType, string expiry,
float strike, string right, string exchange, string currency)
reqMktData returns a dynamic array whose dimension is defined by the
number of unique instances to the call. It returns size and price in
this order: bidsize, bidprice, asksize, asksize, lastprice, lastsize.
reqMktData(6, # of id's called) appears to be how the array is
demensioned
I would like that first demension expanded to record the initial
calls parameters...
Then a code line like the following would populate the relevant cells
automatically, substantially reducing application overhead...
Tws1_tickSpec(.......)
hFlexGrid(1).TextMatrix(id, 3 + tickType) = spec
End Sub
Thats my gripe...
Other than that...Everything is perfect...LOL
