mqh file

[Alberto Tortella]

Hi all, is there the possibility to shift a portion of code in an .mqh file, in order to obtain a smaller .mq4 file?

I'd like to shift in a .mqh file the part code in which I create the Global Variables, but I don't want to create a single .mqh file for every Global Variable (using the return function).

Thank you!

Sure.

Just include the mqh-file in your mq4.

That's it

Typically you want to put declarations in the header files and code in the implementation files.

Consider (for C++)

Except with MQL:

something_h.mqh

class Something : public CObject
{
   public: void PublicMethod();
};

#include "../src/something_src.mqh" //don't have to do this with C++

something_src.mqh

//Something src
#include "../include/something_h.mqh"

void Something::PublicMethod()
{
   Print("Hello world!");
}

program.mq4

#include "include/something_h.mqh"

Something *something = new Something;
