I need to manage my watchlists in Excel (because I want to keep the symbols in a certain order and nest child symbols, etc.). I want to be able to pass one symbol at a time to TC2000 to display the chart. I can create the VBA code for the macro to do what is needed on the Excel side, but cannot get TC2000 to accept the symbol. In an old version of Telechart I used to be able to use SendKeys. I'd send 'j' for jump and the symbol and it would change the chart. For some reason, I cannot get it to work in TC2000. I tried changing the setting to use the telechart hotkeys and sending the j plus symbol and I tried not using the hotkeys setting and just sending the symbol. Nothing works. Any suggestions on what I need to do to get TC2000 to recognize the symbol and change the chart?

TC2000 version 12.2 doesn't have an API, but as far as I know, macros that look like mouse and keyboard interactions with the program should work.
I'm pretty sure the chart portion of TC2000 needs to have focus to be able to jump to another symbol using the keyboard as I don't think you can jump to another symbol if any other portion of TC2000 version 12.2 has focus. A mouse click on the chart section of TC2000 version 12.2 could probably force focus to the chart if you can use a macro to send that as well.
That said, we do not support third party software. I really don't have any other suggestions if it doesn't work.

After some tweaking, was able to get it working perfectly. Now I can maintain my watchlists in a visual order that I like and use TC2000 to browse the charts. Excellent. Thank you.

What tweaking do you use?
