I need help locating the problem

New comment
 
I have a custom indicator that runs in a different window (at the bottom). When I start it the journal tab shows "2012.04.11 15:45:01 Custom indicator Indicator_Environment EURUSD,M1: loaded successfully" the expert tab shows "2012.04.11 15:45:01 Indicator_Environment EURUSD,M1: loaded successfully" but the window is not created. I attempted to Print(...) from the init() function, nothing is printed to the experts tab. The indicator was created using the wizard, it is a simple wrapper of mq4 code which calls a function in a dll, the function returned value is entered in the ExtMapBuffer1. The chart is enabled to use dlls, Where else can I look to see problems/errors?


 

Try posting the indicator's code and perhaps someone would spot something.

I didn't want them, I just wondered if you had them as the code you posted needs them . . . do you have the DLL too ?
 
Is your MT build 418 ?. Click me, click me !!!

Yes, got them all.
 
Print the return value of .dll ?!?

I run a unit test and it works fine. I attempted to print from the init(), nothing shows. The window does not form nothing indicates a problem but it does not work

 

This is the way I see it : the .dll has 13 functions in it, but the CI call only one of them (QP_MA_Environment function). I think that what makes this CI does not works.

Where did you get this CI ?. Obviously most part of the CI is deleted. Whoever create this CI, s/he protect it, and does not want anyone else get this CI for free.
