ba_betplaced

[neeeel]

hi, gary, can you let me know the structure, parameters , etc of the ba_betplaced method? I did a search and found one thread on the forum where you lay out the structure, but when I tried it, I got an error message saying it wasnt correct

thanks

[neeeel]

to clarify, Im talking about the event that is fired when a bet is placed

[osknows]

This is an example of what I've used in VBA...

Code: Select all

Dim WithEvents ba As BettingAssistantCom.ComClass

Private Sub ba_betPlaced(ByVal ref As String, ByVal selecId As Long, ByVal avgPriceMatched As Double, ByVal sizeMatched As Double, ByVal resultCode As String, ByVal token As String)

    Debug.Print "event fired": Stop
End Sub

Private Sub placeBet_Click()
   
    .Cells(i, 27).Value = ba.placeBet(exchange, openingtrade, Odds, stake, False, bettoken)
End Sub

is this what you mean?

[neeeel]

ye, thanks osknows

This may be a silly question but, what would you use this event for?
If you have the bet ref returned by the placebet method, then doesn't that mean it's been placed?

[neeeel]

yes, thats one way of doing it. But there may be times where you want to place a bet, but dont want to wait for the ref to be returned, but you do need the ref at some point. so this would be a way of placing the bet, continuing the execution of your program, and then retrieving the bet ref once the bet has been placed

Hope that makes sense

Thanks Neeeel, it does make sense.
I hadn't realised that placebet could be made to work asynchronously. A quick search just turned up the waitForResult parm that I didn't realise existed.
I can see the option being very handy.

Cheers,
