What you need to know about the MacD sample with frames?

Denis Kirichenko 2018.02.26 12:04 #21

Rashid Umarov:

@Dennis Kirichenko Did you unpack the pictures from the EasyAndFastGUI.zip archive by yourself ? I had to attach all the pictures as a ZIP-file, there is no other option at the moment.

Yes, I unzipped and copied them myself. Should you have done it differently?

I'm like this now:

All correct.

Show the list of graphical objects created by the Expert Advisor before leaving the chart at the beginning of optimisation (Ctrl + B).

Anatoli Kazharski:

That's right.

Show the list of graphical objects created by the Expert Advisor before leaving the chart at the beginning of optimisation (Ctrl + B).

Just in case, the objects are hidden. To show them in the list, I press the "All" button.

Anatoli Kazharski 2018.02.26 17:12 #24

Dennis Kirichenko:

...

That is, for some reason you don't have an object created to draw the button:

standard library:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Attach new object with bitmap resource |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
bool CCanvas::Attach(const long chart_id,const string objname,ENUM_COLOR_FORMAT clrfmt=COLOR_FORMAT_XRGB_NOALPHA)
  {
   if(OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL==ObjectGetInteger(chart_id,objname,OBJPROP_TYPE))
     {
      string rcname=ObjectGetString(chart_id,objname,OBJPROP_BMPFILE);
      rcname=StringSubstr(rcname,StringFind(rcname,"::"));
      if(ResourceReadImage(rcname,m_pixels,m_width,m_height))
        {
         m_objname=objname;
         m_rcname=rcname;
         m_format=clrfmt;
         m_objtype=OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL;
         //--- success
         return(true);
        }
     }
//--- failed
   return(false);
  }

//---

And it is unclear why the problem appears for some users and not for others.

Have you made any changes to this class?

Buttons are there.

I never edit SB.

I haven't made any changes to the CCanvas::Attach() class. Here it is:

Could it be because my root folder is "C:/Program Files / MetaTrader 5 / MQL5"????

Accordingly, the resources are located in C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 5\MQL5\Images.

Maybe there is a problem with accessing the images? Although the terminal is started as administrator.

I don't know. Try to investigate this point.

Yes, Anatoly, I have discovered this.

In your code samples to the article, in the downloaded files, the MacdSampleWithFrames.mq5 file is identical to the MovingAverageWithFrames.mq5 file in terms of code content.

Please correct it. Thank you.

Denis Kirichenko 2018.02.26 18:27 #30

I tested it on another terminal where all files are stored in the %AppData\Roaming\MetaQuotes\Terminal\... folder.

Same error. Something's wrong somewhere.
