API v9.64 (November 2010).
This component set is built to work with the Interactive Brokers TradeWorkStation API. It allows Delphi, BCB, and Kylix programmers to build apps that send orders directly to the TWS. This TIABSocket component links directly to the socket to communicate with the TWS.
There are no dll, ActiveX, .Net or DDE files required, and all socket messages & data processes instantly. This direct connection to the socket makes for a fast reliable interaction and response time. The component set also controls all interactions with the TWS, and includes sub components to manage order activity, portfolio and account details.
The code looks and feels like any other Delphi component, and the syntax is similiar to existing standard component code. The complete source is included, along with a demo app and help file.
You get all source codes, help files, and a component set that handles all the TWS activity and oddities. And does it faster and better than any other connection method avialable.
Will work in a console app too - No VCL or other visual components required.
Delphi 4, 5, 6, 7, 2005, 2006, 2007-Win32, 2009, RAD Studio, 2010, XE, C++Builder (BCB), Kylix 3, programming environments. (BCB - you will be compiling and linking pas and dcu code into your app - see your help file on this procedure).

API and component set:
- View the Help File.
- View header section of IABSocketAPI unit.
- View source code to the demo app (IABSocket.exe).
- Download compiled demo app - Windows or Linux. This is a simple app like the C++ demo, not suitable for trading a real account, but good to "See" how the API is working and finding API programming traps.
