macOS / Unix Support For Excel RTD

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

The TWS API Excel RTD Implementation is built around the Component Object Model (COM) architecture. The COM object and it’s derivatives like ActiveX and OLE (Compound Documents) are built exclusively into Microsoft Windows and are reliant on the Operating System’s Registry structure.

Given the underlying technology of RTD requires Windows-specific architecture regarding it’s registry, the TWSAPI Excel RTD functionality is not available in the Mac and Unix distribution of the TWSAPI offering.
