kiran.v:

I am able to read data from files properly but when i am trying to add data (using MSFL1_AddSecurity), it says "invalid function call". Could any one help me with this?

Sorry if this sounds silly but are you sure you have the write version?

If you are using C# to access metastock data how are you making calls to the msfl.dll? I think the MDK only supplies you code and header files for C++, VB, Delphi and Powerbasic.

As far as I know, the difference in the dlls is one is a release version and one is a debug version. I don't think there's any difference in functionality.

That means that you either don't have the read/write version or you haven't followed the instructions in the manual or sample on setting up your code to have permissions to write.

The only difference between the file with the d and without is that the d means debug.

We do not support C# as a language to develop MDK products in, so we're unable to assist you with that part. If you received a read/write version (which we don't usually sell, so that'd be odd), then it should come with samples to help you figure out how to do a write.

For more help on figuring out if you received the read/write version, and how to set it up if you did, please contact MDK support msdevkit@equis.com.

Thanks for the response.

I had requested the write version and i was pretty sure that i got the write version after looking at the CD Label "Including MSFL Write Version". But later upon conforming with the sales team got to know that it is not the Write version.

One Question:

How can we create Add-ins for Meta-Stock (just for read obviously)? Is there any special libraries available for that or with MSFL itself you can do that?

Hi Kiran

What do you mean by add-ins? Custom indicators? You would use the MSX library for that.

MSFL is primarily for external applications only but can also be handy in custom indicators when doing Relative Strength calcs.
