Options Chain with ActiveX?

[bigbrother]

I would like to know if the ActiveX API support:

1) Option chain
2) Market Depth for option chain

At the moment, I think you can only grab daily historic data for specific options (such as INQ JAN35C daily) and no market depth is supported.

Has there been any updates on getting Options Chain through the API? Is this possible?

What about placing options orders?

[DarScott]

I, too, am interested in getting the option chain. If not this API, then which?

[StarrM]

Are you wanting to invoke an option chain window from eSignal, or are you looking to collect data for an option root and create your own chain?

I'm not sure how to interpret your question.

Are you saying there is a way to use the ActiveX interface to open an option chain window and extract data from that?

I don't like the idea of windows coming up, but that seems to be what happens with using the desktop API, anyway, so I'm open to that.

I don't see a way from the desktop API documentation that I have to open an option chain window.

If there is a way to get data from the desktop API without opening windows, I'd rather do that.
