I am glad to present a new version of ATcl. Work was continued on the unification and simplification of the API, it was possible to achieve stable work of Tk in the experts. Demos replenished with two useful demonstrations.
About ATcl
The ATcl library provides a compact API for the full use of Tcl:
- You can use in any MQL program: script, indicator or expert
- in one program multiple interpreters can be used, including Safe
- simple conversion of Mql data types to Tcl objects and back. (string, long, double)
- similarly supports arrays and Mql series
- management of Tcl objects - creation, deletion, duplication, obtaining of nested elements
- creating, reading, installing, and deleting variables and hashes for Tcl
- execution of Tcl scripts and procedures
- Object design - the library is represented by a class
- It's easy to install - just unpack the archive
Expand the capabilities of your MQL programs, use DBMS, supplement with network tools, integrate them with any programs using Tcl.
Original ATcl site is http://nektomk.ru/en:atcl:start
Partial duplicated in SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mt-atcl/
In new version
API
The syntax of the Set methods is changed - they always take the immediate MQL value as parameters. In order to assign a Tcl_Obj object to the variable, the SetObj method (varName, obj) was introduced. As the development of similar changes affect other methods.
Directory structure
The tcl scripts are moved to the Libraries / ATcl / demo directory The distribution includes the Cawt library (http://www.cawt.tcl3d.org/)
Full featured GUI
Demo - WebSocket
Made a demo showing the operation of a websockets. Following screen shows two indicators with ATcl - read and parse MQL5.com site and subscribe to binance.com websocket
Demo - CawtExcel
Demo showing the mutual exchange of data between MQL and Excel. It turned out a «universal» indicator.
Beta version (known bug)
-
at the last moment it was detected: there is a conflict while
simultaneously loading one ATcl indicator chart and an adviser using Tk. The nature of the error is understandable, but in the code it is not yet lozirovana and therefore has not yet been corrected.Separately, they all work fine, so although with a delay but decided to release a release with this bug..

Project development
There were problems with the old domain and ATcl moved to my personal domain; To avoid problems with the availability of the distribution, the files will be duplicated on SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/mt-atcl/. There you can leave feedback, requests and requests
The project is distributed free of charge, without licensing restrictions and you can help its development with a coin donate
Download
The distribution is available on the install download page and on SourceForge https://sourceforge.net/projects/mt-atcl/files
Intermediate versions are also posted as you go to the mql5.com forum: https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/224745 (russian language spoken)
The ATcl library is provided free of charge and without restrictions on the use
