Hide input variables to clean up settings

New comment

Hello MQL community! This is my first question here, and hopefully its not a stupid one.


The Problem:

My EA is available here: [link to the Market product was deleted by moderator] and everything works great, however due to the nature of me EA, the settings list is massive. Looking at it is simply ugly and I would love to clean it up for a better user experience. (Mql4 and Mt4)


My Goal:

I would like to hide settings that are not currently being used.


My failed attempt:

extern input UseMACross=True;
if(UseMACross==True)
{
        extern input maFast=10;
        extern input Maslow=28;
}

However it seems "if: statements are not allowed in a global scope, and extern variables are not allowed within an "if" statement.

Does anyone know another way around this or is it not possible in the mql4 language?

You cannot do this dynamically (unless you build your own dashboard).

You can use #ifdef and #ifndef pre-processors, then recompile.

Thank you for the suggestion, going to read up on it now :)
