COM object capability

If I use the COM object, can I load up (and retrieve prices from) more than one market at a time?

I don't think the COM object can handle the equivalent of multiple pages within BA, but can it handle the equivalent of multiple markets on a single page within BA?

Hope that makes sense.

Are there any other restrictions with the COM object that it would be useful to know/understand?

Any comment on this?

Sorry for the late reply. At present you can only obtain prices from the current market that is displayed in BA whether you manually opened the market or used COM to open the market. We implemented the COM functionality as a way of automating BA so we do not plan to enable monitoring of markets that are not displayed in BA. We do plan to extend the COM functionality so you can open markets in new tabs and reference them accordingly.

Hello Gary or other COM guru's.

Is there any way with COM to find out the event id of the currently selected market in BA? If a user manually clicks to load a market in BA, how does my COM program know the market ID of the new market? I've looked through the help file but perhaps I'm missing something?

Cheers,
Chris.

Unfortunately it assumes you selected the market using openMarket. I will add an eventId property, probably in the next release.

Thanks Gary, that would be most appreciated.

Hi Gary,

Ta muchly,
Chris.

Thanks Gary.

Version 1.1.0.19 has a marketId property. Tou will need to uninstall the program and re-install to register the new library.
