1. Created source (Mytest1.cpp) 2. Compiled the code (Mytest1.dll has been generated) 3. It is in C:\SierraChart\Data and can be seen in explorer 4. Trying to add study by - 'Analysis -> studies -> Add custom study' . My study doesn't show in any list. Can you please help? |

How did you compile this file? Did you do it through Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL?

That is correct - I did use " Analysis >> Build Custom Studies DLL". Here is the screen output from latest compiling: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ - Starting build of Custom Studies Source files: Mytest1.cpp. -- 06:06:43 C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /C "C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source\VisualCCompile.Bat" C:\SierraChart\ACS_Source>call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" Mytest1.cpp Creating library Mytest1.lib and object Mytest1.exp Generating code Finished generating code -- End of Build -- 06:06:45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The above compile has created Mytest1.dll in C:\SierraChart\Data (By the way it's a simple program to print "Hello World" into the log) |

Therefore, what this means is that either there was a problem reading the file which will be logged in the Message Log: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/MessageLog.html Or there are no study functions contained within the DLL file. All study functions must begin with scsf_ Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

I am impressed! The problem was the function not being named scsf_XXXX. I renamed the function and it wrote to the log file with "Hello World". Thanks, Bala |
