I have some questions about ACSIL and custom (trading) studies. General doc reference: ACSIL Programming Concepts Note that I am not familiar with programming for the Windows Operating System, only Linux and Java. Thus some questions may use unfamiliar language. 1. File I/O ACSIL implements its own ACSIL File Functions ACSIL Programming Concepts: ACSIL File Functions Is it mandatory to use the ACSIL File Functions? Or can standard Windows API functions be used? 2. Symmetric multiprocessing Is it allowed to create subprocesses/threads? 3. Application windows Documentation talks about Dialog windows ACSIL Programming Concepts: Use of Dialog Windows in Advanced Custom Studies I would not want to use a (temporary) Dialog Window, but a regular application window. This would use only "standard" widgets, similar to the SC TradeWindow. Is this generally allowed? The documentation only mentions that modal windows cannot be used, which is understandable. But are there more restrictions? 4. Multiple study instances / communication When the study is loaded into several chart windows, what is the recommended design pattern if I want these study instances to communicate with each other? 5. Multiple studies / communication What is the recommended design pattern if I want different studies to communicate with each other? That's it for the beginning. I will probably come up with more questions. |
