Comments that do not relate to the "Mouse coordinates and CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK", have been moved into this topic.

Hello, Is it possible to join Python 3.X with Metatrader? I found on internet that links are done only for 2.6-2.7 versions.  And of course none of them are working for Python 3.5 version.

How can I get mouse coordinates under an object when I click on it? Is it possible for MT5 to generate 2 events when I click on an object? I mean, CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK and CHARTEVENT_CLICK also? I tried almost every idea I had, but now I'm stuck. I cannot get mouse coordinates when I click on...

Hello, if I do: string a = EnumToString(MODE_SMMA); I get: a = "MODE_SMMA" Now, I would like some function that does just the opposite, I mean something like: int b = StringToEnum("MODE_SMMA"); b = 2 where 2 is the int value associated to the constant: "MODE_SMMA" Regards, cyberglassed.

Hi everybody, It's possible to convert an enum to string though EnumToString. What about the reverse operation? There's an way to convert it back (other than create and function and compare item by item)?

Hi all, I've been wanting to have the ability to plot indicators from different timeframes on my chart, but MT doesn't have this capability built in. (Does anyone know of any charting programs that do this natively?) As an example, if you're following the IWCR system, it'd be nice to be able to...
