This method requests up-to-date data about stock quotes from the MSN Direct receiver. Stock-quotes data includes prices, daily highs, daily lows, and trading volume.
Syntax
int GetStockQuotes();
Parameters
None.
Return Value
Returns the transaction ID of the request that is sent to the MSN Direct receiver; returns -1 if the request fails.
Remarks
The GetStockQuotes method uses RequestSync to perform the transaction, with STOCK_QUOTES specified in the applicationType parameter.
The stock-quotes messages are returned asynchronously in the messageFromReceiver parameter of the ProcessInMessageFromReceiver call. The StockQuotesMsg object in the sample application illustrates how to parse this type of message.
Warning
The functions in the sample message classes handle data that arrives in a specific format in the payload of an incoming message. If you modify the way in which data is extracted from incoming messages, the message classes will not work as expected.
