[Quickfix-developers] Adding Custom Message to Fix42.xml and handling in application

[Nikhil C. <nik...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have a specific requirement to add a custom message and handle the
response for the same. I have done following so far -

In the Fix42.xml I have added following -

In the <messages> section,:

<!-- ============================== -->

<!-- Begin Custom Messages -->

<message name="MyCustomPositionReport" msgtype="MCM59" msgcat="app">

<field name="MyCustomPositionRequestId" required="Y" />

<group name="MyCustomPositionGroup" required="N">

<field name="Account" required="Y" />

<field name="SecurityID" required="N" />

<field name="WorkingLong" required="Y"/>

<field name="WorkingShort" required="Y"/>

<field name="OpenPosition" required="Y"/>

<field name="AvgPx" required="N"/>

<field name="SecurityExchange" required="N"/>

<field name="Symbol" require="N"/>

<field name="MaturityMonthYear" required="N"/>

</group>

</message>

<message name="MyCustomPositionRequest" msgtype="MCM60" msgcat="app">

<field name="MyCustomPositionRequestId" required="Y" />

<group name="MyCustomAccountGroup" required="Y">

<field name="Account" required="Y" />

</group>

</message>

<!-- End Custom Messages -->

<!-- ============================ -->
and in the fields section I have added following -

<!-- ============================== -->
<!-- Begin Custom Messages Fields -->
<field number="1102400" name="MyCustomPositionGroup" type="INT" />
<field number="1102500" name="MyCustomAccountGroup" type="INT" />
<field number="1102600" name="MyCustomPositionRequestId" type="INT"/>
<field number="1101700" name="OpenPosition" type= "INT"/>
<field number="1101800" name="WorkingLong" type="INT"/>
<field number="1101900" name="WorkingShort" type="INT"/>
<!-- End Custom Messages Fields -->
<!-- ============================ -->

I am using C# (2.0) for development and after making the changes in the xml
file, I have rebuild the quickfix solution. When I am using the dll in the
project, I am not getting the class for MyCustomPositionReport and request.
Is there anything else I have to do so that I will get this working?

Thanks in advance,

Regards
Niks.
