Re: [amibroker] OLE automation: How to set Param/ParamStr/ParamDate value?

["Mark H" <amibroker@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all these ideas! (I haven't tried to flap my arms yet :-)
The AutoIT/ActiveX way takes more time since I am not familiar with VB.
A DLL plugin or ODBC is overkill for my purpose.
So I just used a plain file to transfer the parameters. To speed things up, I use static variables in the formula to control file access and cache values, so that it only needs to read the file once at the beginning of BT/Explore.

    Or... you can write a DLL plugin.
    Or... write an Active X
    Or... store your "dynamic" values in database and access them via ODBC plugin

      The way you describe is not that bad actually. 

      A more efficient way would be to use "AutoIT"  www.autoit.com  to click the buttons for you and enter the text.  It has an activeX component as well as a dll that you could use within your script or you could call an exe that it can build.

        Thanks dingo:

        I am wondering what's the best way to pass parameters to a formula dynamically from JScript.
        A way to do it is through a file: the script writes some dynamic values to a file and the AFL formula will reads and parses the file.
        However, this would be slow and cumbersome. 
        Any suggestion will be appreciated,

        - Mark

            I am writing an automation script but couldn't find a way to set values for Param/ParamStr/ParamDate etc. I can only use their default values.
            Is there a way to set their values in JScript?
            Thanks,

            - Mark
