Error on Alert.AddToList

[mbuta]

Hi,

I get the following message when I try to use AddToList function:
"A resource required was not available"

I get it after it works a few times, than I get the above message and the system crashes.

Can anybody help me find out why?
Thank you.

Mihai,

Please provide further information on the problem.

- What version of eSignal are you running?
- Please provide the code you are using (or code snippets).

Hi,
I am using version 7.2 build 544.
I attached one of the EFS files that create the problem.
Every time I tried to use this file, eSignal crashed with "winsig.exe" error
and "DLL32...." error.

Below are other parts of code where I try to use alerts, but don't work.
Please note that same files/indicators work fine if I comment-out the alerts
(I am using them in constant basis and provide correctly the information I
expect).

Thank you.

mbuta, can you find the files:

\Program Files\eSignal\AlertList.xml
\Program Files\eSignal\Alerts.xml

and send them both over to [email protected] ?

Thanks!

Hi Jay, Hi Dion,

Any progress with my Alert errors that I posted last weekend and for which you requested additional information?

Thanks,

[DionLoy]

Yes, check with the next beta release of eSignal v7.4 sometime next week or the week after. It should be fixed in that version.

Thanks for your help!

[mbuta]

Thank you,

I feel better.
I was complaining about this for a few months, I complained at all levels at eSignal (including the Advanced Charting Mgr) and all I got was (implied) that I did not know how to program in EFS.

Maybe we get more credit in the future, even if some people are "active E-Minis" traders.
Thank you.

Hi,

More than 4 weeks have passed since I was promissed a new build that will support basic Alert functions.
Any chance to get it some time soon?

A system without alerts is unusable!
Thank you.

NOTE: Would not hurt if you guys post the number of the latest build, so we dont have to download it and installi it, just to find oput that we were using the latest build!

[DionLoy]

mbuta, are you on the beta testing mailing list ? The fix for your problem was issued almost 4 weeks ago. Have you downloaded the latest build (606) from the 7 Series Beta fileshare group? If so, and the problem still exists, please let us know and send us the details so that we can check it out (or better yet, submit a crash report if/when it crashes and prompts you to).

Thanks!
