There are some times when I prefer to use console based applications for my data-analysis. Having to create a Kluge to accept a windows event when starting iqfeed seems a bit too much. Can that requirement be dropped? Perhaps a .net framework event or even better, simply allow a socket connection immediately, and pass status to the socket connection of what is happening, ie, additional S type messages.

There have also been times when I wanted to connect Perl routines to the feed, so a .net framework event wouldn't be quite appropriate. If the whole thing could be totally driven through sockets, that would be cool.

Good suggestion. This is something that I have been thinking about for future development. I assume that most developers would find this to be handy.

I'll second that request. If everything were socket-based, it might also eliminate some race conditions during startup and reconnection.

No kludge required. The functionality already exists in the library.

void __stdcall SetCallbackFunction(CallbackType callback)
