I cannot speak for others, but I personally use both MetaEditor as well as Microsoft Visual Studio Code (free and open-source) with the MQL4/5 Syntax Highlight extension.


Hi,
An old comment, I hope you don't mind if I bring it up again.

I have configured VSC (Installed Extensions, added libraries address to Workspace settings, configured some tasks to take care of the compiling) but I have 2 issues :

  • IntelliSense doesn't recognize and autocomplete MQL functions (https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/function_indice)
  • For class methods, IntelliSense shows some errors while showing hints for the method parameters. I attach the picture of the issue. 

Are these common issues? or my setup is missing something?

I really appreciate any advice/hint about this issue.

Cheers!

I am working on a side hustle but I'm targetting MQL4 and not MQL5

https://github.com/mhamri/MQLBettersyntax

still I'm not comfortable to write a guide about using it but that's one of the things in my pipeline.

feel free to contribute or give me suggestion as I'm totally new to C++ syntax.
