I guess so.

It's slightly different tho.

The global versus static is neither here nor there. But your method of reset is good. It prevents the overrun.

I spoke too soon. Yours overruns the other way. It will trigger on a later CTRL press. If you click on the chart, then press CTRL it fires.

 

@honest_knave - thanks for your comment. Much appreciate that - but I started try first @Marco vd Heijden comment. ( I read all your comments about that. )

@Marco vd Heijden - Thanks man.

But I think I am doing something wrong, maybe I do not understand more clearly. Anyway I tried, you can find it below code.
Where is my mistake, please?

Your first problem is that CHARTEVENT_CLICK is not the same as CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK. You want to catch clicks on an object, not just any click on the chart.

void OnChartEvent(const int id,
                  const long &lparam,
                  const double &dparam,
                  const string &sparam)
{

//    if( id == CHARTEVENT_CLICK )
    if( id == CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK )
 
void OnChartEvent(const int id,
                  const long &lparam,
                  const double &dparam,
                  const string &sparam)
{
   static bool wasCTRL=false;
   if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK && sparam == lotbtnplus)
     {
      ObjectSetInteger( 0, sparam, OBJPROP_STATE, false );
      lot+=(wasCTRL)?lotstep*10:lotstep;
      update();
      Print( " | lot plus :  ", lot );
      return;
     }
   wasCTRL=(id==CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN && lparam==17);
}
This may help. You might find that it only goes to 0.1 on the second click of the mouse, depending on how quickly you press the button after CTRL.

#Ctrl + Mouse Button - Closed

Wow, just like it, amazing huge thanks honest!

Special thanks to @honest_knave and @Marco vd Heijden

 
#SpreadSheet - Open

Latest Friday 'Spreadsheet' was updates by OnTick function ( which one I need, it was good for me ).

( MT4 platform updated twice. ) After that updates this spreadsheet does not update on the chart, I checked out everything about spreadsheet I do not see any problem.

I need to inform I also use Bid and Ask prices above spreadsheet, Bid and Ask works good, but spreadsheet does not.

So I use Label Function for Label Objects - every Label objects works good without 'Spreadsheet'. Also I need to inform when I create Label object for spreadsheet without function, it works good.
That problem starts after MT4 Platform upgrades, I am not sure where is that problem comes.

If you understand my concern, let me know how can I solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

 

Did you have some code about spreadsheet ?

 
Marco vd Heijden:

Did you have some code about spreadsheet ?

I am still researching about that, also I will post some of code from it, which is working which is not, soon.
 

Can I write 2 different Label Function?
( e.g: 1 for text, 2 for text and font size. )
