Hello
in last two articles we don't see mql4 files
I know mt4 don't support multiple charts and those things
but do you will upload an update for mql4?
I mean for latest functions like text edit and mouse and CPU peformanc
MT4 version of the library will no longer be updated.
Push to switch to MQL5
Tol, unnecessary (or something missing instead of unnecessary) in TextEdit.mqh

And it is somehow strange to be able to use a text label for an input field, but not to be able to set its font and size. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? Or hint how to do it without getting into the code, and without adding your own methods.

1. unnecessary, of course. You need to delete it.
2. In the next update it will be possible for each element to set its own font and its size.
Already working on the next article. Probably will publish it next week.
1. It's redundant. Should be deleted.

1. I deleted it a long time ago - I just had time to ask - what if there was something else that should have been there instead of the deleted one....
2. Super, but I'll have to delete my methods again ..., but never mind ... ;)
3. Looking forward to it.

Tol, the text entered in the text input field when changing the timeframe is again replaced with "Enter your text here". How to get rid of it?
This construction doesn't work (I replaced your default text in the class constructor with ""):

Unable to download MT4

Gentlemen, did you think that we, being the largest distributor of MT4 platform (more installs than any broker), would continue to advertise it?
Did you think that we will continue to pump MT4 installs all over the world for free and to the delight of those who are bragging "why should I leave MT4"?
I recommend you to think about the future and move development to Metatrader 5 faster.
The changes in the ecosystem are much faster now.
Hello! Here's a question. In C languages there are such elements as TMemo with automatic text transfer to a new line and usual TEdit, in which you can enter more than 63 characters. Is it possible to create analogues of TMemo and TEdit with the help of your developments? I understand that 63 characters is a limitation of metatrader itself and cannot be bypassed. Is it possible to use WINAPI for this? (sorry, I don't know much about building objects using standard Windows tools).
