That was about one of the fastest integrations that I've ever done and it works perfectly!!!!" - Comment from Jason via Email

Author	Topic: COM Interface documentation broken? (4 messages, Page 1 of 1)

Is the documentation broken, or is it just me? Andrew

Anyways, I already have the sockets up and running, no problem. Thanks.

We will not make any new code changes to the COM interfaces. They can still be used in the IQFeed API, but we only keep them active to support backwards compatibility. If you're working with an older app that used COM interfaces, they still work, and I can help with any questions about it. But no new development should be done with the COM interfaces.
