Hello.
I'm writing my programm and I want to add OECClient in other thread.
I trying to do something like code on bottom, but callbacks not works...
I try use waitHandle.WaitOne and this not works too...
Can you help me with idea?
ps on Main thread all works good of caurse...


public void Thread9()
{
try
{
myDelegate = new AddListItem(AddListItemMethod);
myDelegate2 = new AddLabel(AddLabelMethod);
t9.Name = "Thread9";
if (client == null)
{
client = new OECClient();

client.OnLoginComplete += new OnLoginCompleteEvent(client_OnLoginComplete);
client.OnLoginFailed += new OnLoginFailedEvent(client_OnLoginFailed);
client.OnDisconnected += new OnDisconnectedEvent(client_OnDisconnected);
client.OnError += new OnErrorEvent(client_OnError);
client.OnContractsChanged += new OnContractsChangedEvent(client_OnContractsChanged);
client.OnTicksReceived += new OnTicksReceivedEvent(client_OnTicksReceived);
client.OnDOMChanged += new OnDOMChangedEvent(client_OnDOMChanged);
}

Run9();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
SaveLog(t9.Name, ex.Message.ToString(), "");
}
}




public void Run9()
{
while (!m_stop9)
{
try
{
if (!OEC_isconnected)
{
client.Connect(host, port, username, password, true);
//Thread.Sleep(100);
}
//other code will be here
//waitHandle.WaitOne();
}
catch (System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException e)
{
SaveLog(t9.Name, e.Message.ToString(), e.ErrorCode.ToString() + " " + GetError(e.ErrorCode));
}
catch (System.Exception e)
{
SaveLog(t9.Name, e.Message.ToString(), e.Source.ToString());
}
}
}


//callbacks
public void client_OnLoginComplete()
{
// waitHandle.Set();
SaveLog(Thread.CurrentThread.Name, "", "Client connected");
OEC_isconnected = true;
LoadContracts();
}

Hello,

You need to add Windows message pump to your non-main thread with OECAPI.

very strange method.
Are there any other way, more elegant?

OECAPI is based on Windows messages.

Hi Victor,

Could you provide some advice or code sample for doing this? >> "You need to add Windows message pump to your non-main thread with OECAPI"

Thanks in advance,
Jon.

In C# WPF, the callbacks will occur on the UI event thread. You have to ensure that any UI event handlers do not block, else all your OEC events will queue until your UI event lets go.

Hello,

message pump should look like:

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var thread = new Thread(OecApartment) { Name = "OECThread" };
thread.Start();
Console.ReadLine();
}

static void OecApartment(object state)
{
OECClient client = new OECClient();
client.OnLoginComplete += new OnLoginCompleteEvent(client_OnLoginComplete);
client.Connect("api.openecry.com", 9200, "usr", "pwd", false);
while (true)
{
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1);
System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents();
}
}

static void client_OnLoginComplete()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hi there! Current thread: {0}", Thread.CurrentThread.Name);
}
}
