Change a FIX Event's Data Source

The steps that follow describe how to change the data source of a FIX event in the run-time environment.

To change the data source of a FIX event in the run-time environment:

1. In Database Manager, create an AI block and a DO block.
2. Create a new Picture.
3. Insert a FIX event.
4. Name the FIX event, and choose the AI block as a data source.
5. Add a rectangle to your picture. Right-click the rectangle and select Edit Script from the pop-up menu.
6. Enter the following code in the rectangle's Click event:

Dim obj As Object

Dim Count As Integer

 

'Set obj equal to the collection of objects contained in 'the active picture

Set obj = Application.ActiveDocument.Page.ContainedObjects

Count = obj.Count

 

'Loop through all of the objects in the picture to find 'any that are Event objects.

While Count > 0

     'If the object is an Event object, change its source

     If obj.Item(Count).ClassName = "FixEvent" Then

          obj.Item(Count).Source = "Fix32.ThisNode.DO.F_CV"

          'Display a message box that describes the change.

          MsgBox "The Fix Event " & obj.Item(Count).Name & _

          " is now connected to the data source " & _

          obj.Item(Count).Source

     End If

     Count = Count – 1

Wend

7. Switch to the run-time environment and click the rectangle. The message box appears stating that the source has changed.
