Hello, I am trying to communicate to a Reuters feed using Python, using a particular set of libraries called the Adfin Real Time library. I have VB code, and am trying to port it to python, and admit I really do not understand COM objects and being a Linux guy mainly, I don't use VB at all. I've had some marginal success, but am coming up empty when it comes to setting up callbacks.
For example, this works: import win32com.client import time symb='GOOG.O' mylist=win32com.client.Dispatch('AdfinXRTLib.AdxRtList') mylist.Source="IDN_RDF" mylist.RegisterItems(symb,"ASK") mylist.StartUpdates(4) # Mode Image while mylist.ItemStatus(symb): pass for i in range(100): m=mylist.Value(symb,"ASK") print m time.sleep(2) but to get it to automatically updated quotes, in VB they do something like #================ Public Class Form1 # Dimension a Public Real Time list object that is capable of handling events # note from me: not sure what this line does really Dim WithEvents AdxList As New AdfinXRTLib.AdxRTList Public Sub AdxList_OnUpdate( <some args deleted>) Handles AdxList.OnUpdate do stuff with the updated data End Sub Private Sub Button1_Click(<some args deleted>) do stuff with button click End Sub End Class #================ It seems as if the important part is the "Handles AdxList.OnUpdate", which I assume is basically saying "call me when AdxList.OnUpdate is called". I have no idea how to get this to point to a python function, so I can make the AdxList.OnUpdate call python code. Is there a tutorial somewhere about this stuff, or is there a proper place to ask such questions? thanks, Brian Blais -- ----------------- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://web.bryant.edu/~bblais -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
