mIRC dll

[quannabe]

Before I make a post to one of those rent-a-coder sites, I thought I would check this group to see if anyone has used an mIRC dll to communicate with a 3rd party app such as Esignal. It's my understanding that Esignal 10 is somewhat restrictive as to which dlls will work in Windows. I've checked the libraries at mircscripts.org, mirc.net, but nothing concrete.

Been expecting to not reinvent the wheel on this one, but I think a coder who is familiar with mIRC scripting may have to develop the dll from scratch.

If anyone here is familar with a potential solution for esignal communicating with mIRC, I'd appreciate a post or pm.

What are you trying to do?

Are you trying to send trading signals to an IRC channel and/or user(s)? If so then you may look for an IRC library that will connect directly to the IRC server vs using mIRC.

Just a thought.

Right, Ok. But I've been told that Esignal is fairly strict as to which files it will work with vs. those it won't. How do I determine if a specific dll will work with Esignal?

I recommend you go to ALL the Othernet channels (especially the popular ones) where traders hang out via mIRC and ask your question there.

Use an intermediary app/dll to work between eSignal and mIRC (or whatever IRC client/server you decide to use).

You need a DLL to work as the middle man. No worry about conflicts or blacklisted DLLs. I have done this with TradeStation 2000i some time ago, not with mIRC but the concept is the same.
