event CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG not called

[chinaski]

Hello,

i just want to code a rectangle which should be moveable, when dragged.

Unfortunately, i get no CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG called.

Is there any setting in MetaTrader 5 or a "ChartSetInteger" to be called in order to get it work?

I played around with zorder, from 0 to 2, but no help.

The property selectable is set to true.

A small expert demontrating this is attached.

(There is also a delay before the rectangle spawns and i don't know why.)

Any help appreciated.

1. You stated MT5 but posted MT4 code. Why did you post your MT4 question in the Root / MT5 EA section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)

   Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

2. Print("drag "+sparam);

   I added which rectangle, otherwise your EA is identical to mine (rectangle selected and OnChartEvent.)

3. Your EA works fine (experts tab:)

   2018.04.13 11:10:14.640    rectangle USDCHF,H4: uninit reason 4
   2018.04.13 11:10:03.410    rectangle USDCHF,H4: drag rec_rec_label_1
   2018.04.13 11:10:00.171    rectangle USDCHF,H4: initialized
   

4.    ChartSetInteger(0,CHART_EVENT_MOUSE_MOVE,1);
   

   You don't need that unless you're going to capture CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE (which my code does.)

Sorry yes, was a mistake, wrong forum. On MT4 this code works, on MT5 not.

2. Sorry, i do not understand the purpose of this link.

4. Yes, not required.

Can you move this to MT5 forum and do you have a solution ?

Thank you.

The rectangle is dragable when you grap the the small quaret in the upper left. For poeple with bad eyes like me, not really funny.
