EasyLanguage Object Reference

Class Declaration (Instantiation)

Before a class can be used as an object in EasyLanguage, it needs to be instantiated which consists of declaring a new object variable of the class type, and creating a new instance of the class as an object.  

 To make the code more readable you can add using statements to avoid retyping namespace prefixes when referencing classes and members.

Syntax
EasyLanguage (Class Declaration) Copy Code
// define namespaces that your EL code and declared classes might use

using elsystem;         // used to reference system base classes
using tsdata.trading;           // used to reference TradeStation trading classes

// object declaration

vars : AccountsProvider myAcctProvider(null); // define an object variable of type AccountsProvider
    myAcctProvider = new AccountsProvider;

Remarks

For component classes, an object instance of the component class is constructed and initialized automatically.  The component code and properties can be inspected using the View - Designer Generated Code menu sequence.
