SaveTickerList Method (Quote Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
This method will save the list of tickers in the quote control to the specified file.

Syntax
long result = SaveTickerList(LPCTSTR filePath, short fileFoundAction)

The SaveTickerList syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
Result	A long integer indicating the success of the operation. The value of result will be 0 for a successful save of the ticker list and an error code for an unsuccessful operation
FilePath	A String indicating the full path (including file name) of the NewsEdge Ticker File
fileFoundAction	A short integer with three possible values indicating the appropriate action if the file specified in filePath already exists. See Remarks

Remarks
The File specified in FilePath must have an .NTF file extension. If the file does contain a .NTF file extension, an NTF extension will be appended to the file name. The NewsEdge Ticker File is a space delimited list of tickers in text format.

fileFoundAction is only applicable if the file specified by pathName already exists. It has 3 possible values:

fileFoundAction = 0 SaveTickerList doesn't save anything and returns an error that the file already exists.

fileFoundAction = 1 SaveTickerList overwrites the contents of the specified file with the new ticker list.

fileFoundAction = 2 SaveTickerList appends the list of tickers to the end of the list of tickers already in the specified file.
