[Quickfix-developers] sendToTarget Format

[Parjeet S. <par...@oa...>]

This is a simple question but I need bit of clarifications: I am not
sure few scenarios.

I have coded to SendMessage in this way:


Private Function SendMessageRequest(ByVal intQuoteReqID As Integer) As
Boolean

strQuoteReqID = CStr(intQuoteReqID)

        
        message.setField(New StringField(40, "C"))

        message.setField(New StringField(167, "FOR"))
        message.setField(New StringField(131, strQuoteReqID))
        message.setField(New StringField(146, "1"))
        message.setField(New StringField(55, "AUD/USD"))

Try
            Session.sendToTarget(message, "OAKVALE-PRICES-TEST",
"BARX-PRICES-TEST")

        Catch e As SessionNotFound
            MsgBox(e.Message)
        End Try


At the moment I am hard coding that is the Tag and Description.
message.setField (New StringField (40,"C")) 

 - Is there any way I can avoid hard coding and use data dictionary for
ordType Tag and description etc.


- At the moment I am calling above code from onLogon..........is this
correct place to call above function or I have to use toApp call back

  Public Sub onLogon(ByVal Param As QuickFix.SessionID) Implements
QuickFix.Application.onLogon
        System.Console.WriteLine("Logon: " & Param.GetType.FullName)

        Dim s As Session = Session.lookupSession(Param)


        If (s.isLoggedOn = True) Then
            If (s.receivedLogon = True) Then
                intQuoteReqID = intQuoteReqID + 1
                SendMessageRequest(intQuoteReqID)
            End If
        End If
