Code: Select all
external: "MTPredictor.DataFeed.Producer.Bridge.Unmanaged.dll", int, "InitializeDataFeed", string{platform};
vars: bool firstTime(true);
if firstTime then begin
InitializeDataFeed("Multicharts");
firstTime = false;
end;
We like to put our DLLs on the system path so that we don't have to install them into Multicharts. Can this be done?PATH is the Windows directory path to the DLL file. PATH is an optional parameter. If
a path is not specified, the subdirectory “C:\Program Files\TS\Program\” is
presumed to be the subdirectory that contains the DLL file. If the DLL is not found in
the \TS\Program subdirectory, then the directories in the computer’s
system path statement will be searched. If the DLL is not located in any of those
directories, a run-time error will occur.
If a dll used by a study is 32bit then it will work with MC 32bit only. 64bit dll is compatible only with MC 64bit.Ah, maybe it isn't. I am using the same DLL from TS which is a 32 bit platform. I will compile a 64 bit version.
If the file path is not explicitly specified in the study code then MultiCharts searches in it's installation folder, then in the PATH environmental variable (Control Panel->System->Advanced System Settings->Environment Variables->User Variables).Also, where does MC search for DLLs? We like to put our DLLs on the system path so that we don't have to install them into Multicharts. Can this be done?
Strings can be single byte chars.Finally, do strings have to passed as Unicode to DLLs or can they be single byte chars?
