Question

Dear all trader and API Gurus,

Thank you in advance.

Background:

1. Visual Studio 2010, C# Language, ActiveX OCX API as reference of project.
2. Successively to use the method provided by API like reqAccountUpdate and use the event to receive information about account update.

Issue:

1. Now I would like to require data about one specific financial instrument like a forex pair: AUD.USD .

a. Step 1: Inherit the interface of class IContract from TWSLib my Code is here as a picture and the constructor is specific for AUD.USD:

As you can see that I have change the private object _combolLegs to private TWSLib.IComboLeg _comboLegs

b. Step 2: I also inherit the IComboleg and IUpdateComp to ComboLeg and UpdateComp and I do not assign any value to them since they are not related
to the the AUD.USD forex trading.

c. Now I create a instance of contract and try to assign all information forex contract required for and submit my query.

It seems like the contract instance I created could not be accepted by the api as formal IContract instance. Any idea from any .NET gurus?:)

Thanks lot in advance again,

Humble learner.

Answer 1

//Try changing the way that you implement the Interface / Clase where you have 
// -- var auduse = new Contract();

//depending on boxing and unboxing from this point try to reverse it and do the following
IContract iaudUse = new Contract();
//then you would use iaudUse. what ever method in the Interface that you are wanting to use.
