c# arrays

[robcpettit]

Hi, my terminology may be wrong but i hope you get the jist. Ok, in c# vs2005 Im referencing the com interface. Ive added
BettingAssistantCom.Application.ComClass ba = new BettingAssistantCom.Application.ComClass();
private ArrayList prices = new ArrayList();. Then Im adding prices to my array with prices.Add(ba.getPrices()); I can see the elements in my array, normally I can loop through the elements, and although I can do here I cant work out how to get the values out, backmoney3, backmoney2 etc. I think Im supposed to do something like prices[i].-----, but I dont see these. Any ideas.

getPrices() returns an array.

I don't use C#, but imagine it's something like the following.

private object prices[];
prices=ba.getPrices();

You should be able to refer to the first back price as follows.

double backPrice=prices[0].backOdds1;

Thankyou for your reply. I tried object o = ba.getPrices(); It gives me the elements, but o[0]._____ doesnt let me in. Ive trie putting it in arraylist then using object, still no joy. Ill keep reading.

But don't you need to put object o[] = ba.getPrices() to define o as an array?

When I tried that, it gives me a compile error, without, it apears to be an array.

Well Ive tried various combinations now. If I put a break in my code, I can see the details in myarray, just cant get them out. Try again tommorow.

Hi, I cracked it. I still couldnt get to the data with prices[0].---, but I dont think Im supposed anyway. As in your help section it says getPrices(): Price()
Description
Returns last refreshed prices for all selections in currently displayed market in an array of Price object. Id forgot about the price object and was thinking to much about getprices. Anyway this is what I have done, If anyones using a more efficient method please let me know.
I created an array list the added the getprices, the looed through the array for the Price object.
private ArrayList prices = new ArrayList();
prices.AddRange(ba.getPrices()); (addrange instead off add, Add puts everthing into one element)
foreach (BettingAssistantCom.Application.Price data in prices)
{
double x = data.backMoney3;
}
Turned out to be easy in the end. As you can tell Im new to programming.

I have created a working example in C#, download it from the following link. You will need to change the reference to the dll as it references my development dll. The example demonstrates fetching the first horse race, hooking up the pricesUpdated event and reading the prices.

just thought i'd post my findings in here, ive been a world of pain today trying to understand how to make this call in the autoit language. i new it had to be something simple but just couldnt figure it out. One of the things which baffled me is why some people are calling

Local $BAcom = ObjCreate("BettingAssistantCom.Application.Price")
and i noticed with me Obj browser that their are 4 or 5 other Objects which can be called. but i stook with ComClass in the end as i had already had some success with it.

i problem which i eventualy came to understanding was that $BAcom.getPrices() wasnt returning any data after ObjCreate. A delay of sorts was required until getPrices() returns some data. So i looped the call

Code: Select all

Local $BAcom = ObjCreate("BettingAssistantCom.Application.ComClass")

While 1
   $prices = $BAcom.getPrices()
   If UBound($prices) > 1 Then
      ExitLoop
   EndIf
WEnd

For $Element In $prices
   MsgBox(0, "", $Element.Selection)
Next
