VB Examples don't work (ActiveX fails to post real-time events)

[Gregory Bedlek]

As supplied, the VB example program doesn't provide real
time updates to any symbol that I've entered. I made sure
that the statement "esignal.SetApplication ("")" has my
account in it, I added a line of code to check the return value
from "esignal.IsEntitled" and verified that that was returning
true, and now for a description of the problem:

I put a breakpoint in routine "esignal_OnQuoteChanged".
I put in a symbol "$INDU". I also tried "ES U3" with the same
results.
When I press the "Request quote"
button, an event is fired calling the routine
"esignal_OnQuoteChanged" (Breakpoint hit). The screen updates
with the current value of $INDU. However, during the trading
day, the routine "esignal_OnQuoteChanged" is NEVER called
again, unless I press "Stop quote" and then press "Request
quote" again.

I read the minimal documentation supplied, and it said that
you must "register" the symbol with a call to
"esignal.RequestSymbol sSymbol, True",
which is what the source code has.

What is wrong with the ActiveX component?

Gregory,

This does work fine if you are subscribed to the eSignal Desktop API. Without this subscription, the VB example will not function. If you believe you have subscribed, please PM me your user name, so I can investigate the issue further.
