Software Development Kits (SDKs)

Postby maxmax68 » 02 Feb 2017

Hello,
in these days I am reading a lot of posts about GV, DLL and SDK.
Some of them are very old, so I was not able to understand what is the actual state of art.

SDK now cames free with the installation of Multicharts ? Or is an Add on ?

To use GV I need to add any DLL ?

Thanks
Best regards
Massimo

Hello maxmax68,

The SDK (API) is used for developing new data feed and broker connections (for vendors not currently supported in the platform) and is sold separately from the platform license.
Global Variables is an external DLL for sharing the information between the charts. This DLL comes with the platform. From Multicharts the Global variables functionality is accessed by PowerLanguage functions. In order to get all of the GV functions - please import the Global Variable22.zip attached to this post:
viewtopic.php?t=2483#p8174
You need to save the file, unzip it, import GV 2-2.ELD per instructions:

Using Global Variables it is important to determine the read-write action time because the actions are performed on the script calculation.
