Desktop API documentation

[Objectivist]

Is there a document that describes the C++ API? In particular, I need a document that lists the calls, the parameters to the calls, the usage of those parameters, and the meaning of returned values. For example, the "eSignal Developer Reference" gives a Visual Basic example from which I can deduce (with significant effort) the meaning of the value returned from "GetNumTimeSalesRtBars()", but I can only guess what the meaning of the value returned by "GetNumTimeSalesBars()" might be. Also, am to assume a mapping from the Visual Basic usage of functions and structures to their C++ counterparts? I would have expected to get some documentation, in exchange for my $195 sign up fee.

eSignal Developer Reference, Standard eSignal API Edition

The eSignal Developer Reference, Standard eSignal API Edition is available to third-party development groups that have signed a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with eSignal and that have provided any applicable fees. This reference guide is included in the standard eSignal SDK and describes the C++ functions, parameters, and events associated with the standard API.

If you are a company wishing to produce a commercial application that uses the eSignal data feeds, then you must contact eSignal to obtain an NDA and to enter into a development agreement.
You may already have entered into such an agreement for using the eSignal Desktop API.
