[Disable copy text] How to show text in MT5 which is impossible to be selected and copied?

[Vassil Banov]

I want to create EA or script which will show a message (text+chart) directly on screen to the user of the MT5 terminal. How to forbid this text to be copied?

Я хочу создать EA или скрипт, который будет показывать сообщение (text+chart) непосредственно на экране пользователю терминала MT5. Как запретить копирование этого текста?

Here you have a good example: https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/constants/objectconstants/enum_object/obj_text

See the yellow highlighted code below

                double                  price=0,                  // anchor point price 
                const string            text="Text",              // the text itself

                const long              z_order=0)                // priority for mouse click 
  { 
//--- set anchor point coordinates if they are not set

   if(!ObjectCreate(chart_ID,name,OBJ_TEXT,sub_window,time,price)) 
     { 
      Print(__FUNCTION__, 
            ": failed to create \"Text\" object! Error code = ",GetLastError()); 
      return(false); 
     } 
//--- set the text 
   ObjectSetString(chart_ID,name,OBJPROP_TEXT,text);

   ObjectSetString(chart_ID,name,OBJPROP_FONT,font);
