jkrohn Would it be possible to get source code to the demo DDE adapter? If not do you know of anyone who commercially develops a DDE adapter for Lightstreamer? This is something we are looking to implement.
Alessandro Alinone Unfortunately, the source code of the DDE Demo is not available. We have plans to develop an open-source example, but not in the very short term. What's your time frame? Thanks
jkrohn Sorry for the delayed reply. We are looking at a 6 month timeframe to deployment of the DDE adapter. Does this seem reasonable or should we look into alternatives?
Alessandro Alinone Hi Jason, You stroke a nerve... I admit we haven't worked on this yet. I have made a not on my personal agenda to let you know directly as soon as there are some news on this. Thanks Alessandro
Alessandro Alinone Not as far as I know. But we should make some progress in providing a DDE example soon.
Alessandro Alinone The good news is that we have started working on both a DDE and an RTD example. I don't have an ETA yet, but I will keep you in the loop, so that you can get a preview before we publish the examples in the next few weeks.
Alessandro Alinone Very close to release the DDE example based on the Neva library... Should be a matter of a few more days. Stay tuned!
Alessandro Alinone The new DDE example, with source code, is now available! http://www.lightstreamer.com/demos.htm#Excel-DDE_DemoLeg
hub4port Hello Alessandro, I'm a new user, just got Moderato edition running. I looked the demo page of lightstreamer sending data to Excel via DDE bridge. I'm looking for the reverse one. I've metatrader installed and running a DDE server with it. I want to get realtime tick data from metatrader DDE server to be feed into Lightstreamer and displayed to my customer. do you have a demo available for that? many thanks shariff
Alessandro Alinone Hello Shariff, Unfortunately, we don't have a ready-made example for that. Basically, you will need to write a Data Adapter that acts as a DDE client, in order to get the data and inject it into Lightstreamer Server. Let us know if you succeed! Kind regards Alessandro
