[Quickfix-developers] Application Class Methods - Begginer

[Joaquín G. <j.g...@ra...>]

Hi,

I've been reading several QF tutorials for begginers and there's one  
thing I don't understand (in fact there are a few more).

Talking about Methods in Application Class:

public void onCreate(SessionID);

public void onLogon(SessionID);

public void onLogout(SessionID);

public void toAdmin(Message, SessionID);

public void toApp(Message, SessionID);

public void fromAdmin(Message, SessionID);

public void fromApp(Message, SessionID);



they say something like "these are called when a message is received,  
session is logged on, ..." and so on.



 From that I understand that these are methods that are executed  
responding to those events (message incoming, session logged on, etc),  
just like a method "OnOK()" is executed when I click an OK button (for  
example)



What I find confusing is that I expected to find methods to perform  
actions like Logon, Send, Logoff, etc whenever I need it, instead of  
methods to respond to these as events



Can anyone help?



Thank you all.
