Help with Hooks1->XMLGetFundamentalData() and XDividend date

[patrick256]

I am using the function XMLGetFundamentalData() but I am not able to get a return value for the XDividend date. Below I have added the list of items that should be returned as seen in the help file. #19 is the Dividend Date. I am not able to get a return value for anythning past #8 (ftfEPS, 8, Earnings per share). When I request #19 it returns only the 52 week high and low. When I request #225 (all) it returns #1 through #8. Do you have any advice for using this function to get the items past #8?


ReturnValue = Hooks1->XMLGetFundamentalData((BSTR)sSymbol, 255, 0 ); //All
ReturnValue = Hooks1->XMLGetFundamentalData((BSTR)sSymbol, 19, 0 ); //Dividend Date



XMLGetFundamentalData(<symbol>, <fundamentalTypeFlag>) returns: <XML>

Desc: Retrieves fundamental data for the symbol requested in XML format.

I got this working. Sorry for posting such a simple question. I have to call this function using the type library constant like below. Now it works.


FD1 = Hooks1->XMLGetFundamentalData( sSymbol, __MIDL___MIDL_itf_winsig_0000_0012::ftfALL, 0 ); //All
FD2 = Hooks1->XMLGetFundamentalData( sSymbol, __MIDL___MIDL_itf_winsig_0000_0012::ftfYIELD, 0 ); //Dividend Date

Thanks
