Re: [Quickfix-developers] Custom Logon Message

[Kenny S. <ks...@co...>]

Hi Arup,

You shouldn't the the 'crack' method call.  That is for receiving messages.

The way I code this would look something like:

void FixApp::toAdmin(FIX::Message& msg, const FIX::SessionID& sessionID )
{
  FIX::MsgType msgType;
  msg.getHeader().getField(msgType);

  // if logon
  if( msgType.getValue() == FIX::MsgType_LOGON )
  {
      FIX::Password pw( _my_password );
      msg.setField( pw );
      FIX::Username user( _my_username );
      msg.setField( user );
  }
}
