    Ja,

    I agree. Thing is, I am sure the built in controls are not optized for frequently changing data. But geez, if you (Microsoft) are going to provide something, do it right from the beginning! :mad:

    nitro :(

    Dierk,

    Gulp, the installation is in German! :eek:

    IMHO, you need to add English as a language option.

    nitro :(

  4. what about straight up DDE links, they've always looked crisp to me,

    ...but maybe the refresh rate on my visual cortex is lagging :(

    Nitro,

    - the product itself is english only, installation should be pretty forward
    - TradeMagic 2 installation will be english only

    Hope this helps

  8. DDE offers no guaranteed transmission of all data. At times Excel will be busy and you will miss quotes frequently. A simple example - let Excel autoupdate a graph or do some auto-saving and you include timestamps for received DDE data (via onData event for the worksheet, I guess) and you'll see.

    The ActiveX control is much better, but not flawless. See MS MSDN-resources for lots of information of .NET and DDE differences, and that new interface they introduced for real-time data (forgot it's name - but here's a starting point : http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dndotnet/html/actxvnetcontrols.asp ).
