Hi,

I am designing a c++ FIX application which opens FIX session with a FIX engine and takes quotes .
What I am trying to do is : requesting quotes and while receiving the quotes using onMessage function i am trying to initiate simple socket connection(NOT FIX) with another application and send my own structure .
The problem is with the functions I am using to initiate and bind my socket because of FIX socket functions.

So , is it possible to start simple socket connection inside onMessage function?

Thanks.

I don’t know the answer to your question (I’ve no idea what library provides the onMessage function) but if you aren’t already doing so I would strongly recommend that you consider using the boost asio library for projects such as this.
