Drawing with mouse button

[Roman Sharanov]

Hi everyone, apologize for propably bad english.

Can anyone give me advise, where should I read about the interaction between chart and mouse.

Heres exactly what I need,for example: some kind of button on the chart. So when I click it, it's becomes possible to put 4 "dots" with mouse click, and after that these 4 dots are connecting together in to quadrangle.

Also, the coordinates (Time, Price) of the dots are used in some calculations, so I need them...Any suggestions?

Thx anyway

1. Look at my GUI. It tracks the mouse and places the line there when b or s is pressed.

2. Perhaps you should read the manual. What part of "CHARTEVENT_CLICK" is unclear?

3. Why don't you just draw a rectangle?

You have only four choices:

• Search for it,
• learn to code it. If you don't learn MQL4/5, there is no common language for us to communicate. If we tell you what you need, you can't code it. If we give you the code, you don't know how to integrate it into yours.
• Beg at Coding help - MQL4 and MetaTrader 4 - MQL4 programming forum or Need help with coding - General - MQL5 programming forum or Free MQL4 To MQL5 Converter - General - MQL5 programming forum or Requests & Ideas (MQL5 only!),
• or pay (Freelance) someone to code it.

We're not going to code it for you (although it could happen if you are lucky or the problem is interesting.) We are willing to help you when you post your attempt (using SRC) and the nature of your problem.
