RefreshData Method in RTD Server
Hi,
I'm trying to build my own RTD Server for Excel using C++. I downloaded the example available on msdn.com, and I'm trying to modify the code to output something other than the current system time. I successfully modified the ConnectDate() method. However, I'm not quite sure how the RefreshData() method works. How does the RefreshData() method know what data I want to update? The list of strings or topics from the RTD() function in Excel is passed into the Strings parameter in ConnectData(), but how does RefreshData know what the parameters are in order to create the output value to pass back to Excel? I think i probably lack an understanding of the RefreshData() function. Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Kitty =) |
RefreshData Method in RTD Server
