Hello,
I am SHELLing iqconnect.ext as per the documentation and ending the string with "-autoconnect". Because of this, I expect the pop-up to automatically connect and go away.

But what is currently happening when I run my program is that the popup appears with the login box entered correctly, but I have to manually click the "Connect" button on the popup. It then connects and goes away correctly. The "Automatically Connect" checkbox is not checked on the popup when it appears. I am using IQfeed 4.8.1.7

For me to only have to click the Connect button and nothing else, I think my password and product must also be entering correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
N4

On the command line, the -autoconnect parameter is ignored unless you also send the -savelogininfo parameter (or if it was previously set).

Thanks, that worked great.

Just for completeness, it may be worth updating the API doc to include your statement and also correct the example given:

"IQConnect.exe -product <REMOVED> -version 1.0.0.0 -login 100000 -password 1234 -autoconnect"

You're right. I'll get the documentation updated.
