Re: [Quickfix-developers] User Defined Messages & Groups

[Oren M. <or...@qu...>]

More specifically you need to create a Group class which specified  
the order you need the fields to be.  For instance, you can that  
MassQuote::NoQuoteSets is created like so:

class NoQuoteSets: public FIX::Group
{
     public:
     NoQuoteSets() : FIX::Group(296,302,FIX::message_order 
(302,311,312,309,305,310,313,314,315,316,317,436,435,308,306,362,363,307 
,364,365,367,304,0)) {}
     ...
}

So the order is defined by what is passed into the FIX::Group  
constructor.  The first field passed in is the field which contains  
the count for the repeating groups, the second is the delimiter which  
separates repeating groups.  Then you pass in a FIX::message_order  
which defines the order.  The first field should always be the same  
as the delimiter as it should always be first, and the last field  
should always be 0 to indicate you are done supplying fields.
