I'm trying to use a custom API to get numeric data from a program, Windsor Direct 4 (MT4), and put in to a Max patcher...and as I have never used APIs before this is a tad confusing.

I had no problem installing everything and getting it running; my concern is with how to get Max to read the data. On the "How to use" page, this code is written for receiving the data:

MetaTraderDde dde = new MetaTraderDde("");

dde.OnQuote += new EventHandler(MT_OnQuote);

private static void MT_OnQuote(object sender, QuoteEventArgs args)

Console.WriteLine(args.Symbol + " " + args.Bid + " " + args.Ask);

I know that I can put a .js directly into a patcher with an object, but 1) this is a C file and 2) I'm not sure how to modify this to fit the needs of Max.

In short, what am I to do to get data from an API? Sorry if this is basic...

I got the APIs from this website: http://www.mt4api.net/how-to-use

    MetaTraderDde dde = new MetaTraderDde("");

    dde.OnQuote += new EventHandler(MT_OnQuote);

    Console.WriteLine("Press any key...");

  private static void MT_OnQuote(object sender, QuoteEventArgs args)

    Console.WriteLine(args.Symbol + " " + args.Bid + " " + args.Ask);
