Changing the Smiley Face Programmatically?

New comment
 

Hello Everyone,

I know that the smiley face is only ever sad when Allow Live Trading has not been selected when loading the EA.

I would like to make it sad if the input parameters are wrong to highlight the problem, not everyone checks the experts tab, and some of the indicators already use the comment field.

I could put an object across the screen I suppose stating the parameters are wrong, but I'd like to be a bit more subtle.

Thanks in Advance,

Mike

You want to highlight a problem . . . in a subtle way ? isn't that a little contradictory ?
 
How would you determine if input parameters are wrong? If you already have staged code to determine ranges of inputs, you might as well have a prompt to force the user to recognize or address the issue.
 

u can send "CTRL + E", more simple PostMessageA (Hndl, WM_COMMAND, 33020, 0)

Thanks for all the feedback, I guess the answer is no. I will think of something else, probably an alert will do for now.

Cheers
