RequestHistory call returns nothing

[artems]

This is about "C ActiveX Example.zip" posted by Brad on this page:

http://share.esignal.com/groupcontents.jsp?folder=&groupid=185,

the download link is this:

http://share.esignal.com/download.jsp?groupid=185&folder=&file=C%20ActiveX%20Sample.zip

The project compiles fine, Snapshot and RealTime buttons produce the desired effect with no modifications.

But "Get Bars" feature never displays any bars. I've added verbosity to MainDialog::FillHistory() to see what's going on and found out that GetGetNumBars(m_hHistory) always returns 0.

Is this a known problem or is this only happening to me? What am I doing wrong?

I'll repeat myself: Snapshots and Real time buttons work for a chosen symbol, and I can set the linking symbol in eSignal application, meaning that my connection with eSignal server is fine and my connection with the Application is also fine. I also know that OnBarsReceived() and OnBarsChanged() are triggered as they should, but the number of bars is zero.
I am absolutely sure that I am filling in all the arguments correctly and there should be some bars in the range.

Guys, come on! Please tell me what I am doing wrong!

This is a standard example from the FileSharing page, called "C++ sample" by Brad eSignal!

It is supposed to work out of the box, right?

"Snapshot" works, "RealTime" works, "GetBars" does not work! I am giving it all the right parameters.

Thanks!

ahodgee,

thanks for the post!

It does work today, I am attaching the screenshot. Miraculously, all same params and other cases failed on the day of the original posting. To tell the truth, I did not retry since then. Don't know what was wrong... This is so embarrassing... I apologize for the nuisance.

Artem.
