Tai-Pan EoD COM Interface – Delphi Developer Documentation

Quick Start

uses TPACC20_TLB;
            
            var csTaiPan : ITaiPan;
            
            csTaiPan := CoTaiPan.Create;

1. Die COM Interface

The COM interface allows external Delphi applications to access:
• Wertpapier-Master Data
• Price Data
• Dividends
• Catalogs / Gruppen
• additional data records

A sample project TPEoDComInterface demonstrating all the functions listed here demonstrates usage.
