Chart ID

[topagent006]

All,

I wrote an EFS to exchange information with a DLL. It works fine if there is only one chart loaded this EFS.

Things get complicated when users open different charts and load the same EFS. I had to add code to give ID from the DLL for each chart. It works fine again until users load a different symbol on the same chart.

Since the EFS has to be reloaded, (the old ID gots wiped out) it gets a different ID. Due to resources constraint, I don't want the DLL to assign a different ID if the EFS is coming from the same chart. How can I do that? Is there a Chart ID that I can pass to my DLL?

Alternatively, is there an event handler that tells me that the EFS is reloading?

You can use the getInvokerID() function to retrieve the chart's ID (click the link for the description of the function)

Thank Alex, it works great.

My question to eSignal is why this function is not part of the EFS Developer's Reference? Can it be updated with the latest functions available to make life easier to programmers? I always check against this reference manual before asking question to the Forum. I get code done much faster.

Thanks,
Anthony.
