Multiple Buttons in one indicator?

[WTM]

Currently to show the text I want, I need to make 2 buttons as there's a limit on the length in a button (as far as I know). 

#property version   "1.00"
#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window
#include <Controls/Button.mqh>
CButton SLTP;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping
SLTP.Create(0,"SLTP",0,440,45,5,25);
SLTP.Text("M15: -10 close, -20 straight. If +20, move stop to +10. If +30");
SLTP.FontSize(8);
SLTP.Color(clrBlack);
SLTP.ColorBackground(clrBeige);
//---
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//---
   
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
   return(rates_total);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window
#include <Controls/Button.mqh>
CButton SLTP1;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping
SLTP1.Create(0,"SLTP1",0,440,45,575,25);
SLTP1.Text("use KS close stop.");
SLTP1.FontSize(8);
SLTP1.Color(clrBlack);
SLTP1.ColorBackground(clrBeige);  
//---
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//---
   
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
   return(rates_total);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

When I put another "#include <..." in, and then put the rest of the code for the next button, it doesn't work. 

As I need 4 lines of similar length, I currently need 8 indicators...Surely there's a way to put all of them in one indicator? If so, can someone help?

You don't have to include anything if you just add the code at the bottom.

#property strict
#property indicator_chart_window
#include <Controls/Button.mqh>
CButton SLTP1;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator initialization function                         |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnInit()
  {
//--- indicator buffers mapping
SLTP1.Create(0,"SLTP1",0,440,45,575,25);
SLTP1.Text("use KS close stop.");
SLTP1.FontSize(8);
SLTP1.Color(clrBlack);
SLTP1.ColorBackground(clrBeige);  
//---
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
  {
//---
   
//--- return value of prev_calculated for next call
   return(rates_total);
  }

I don't get which bit of code you're referring to?

I want all buttons to show at once

I know how the freelance section works thanks, and I've used it multiple times. But not sure how that helps me learn to solve the problem myself...

[WTM]

Never mind, I've solved it anyway.

[Marco vd Heijden]

Then you could also tell us how you solved it.

Maybe someone who has a similar issue will hit this page by search engine in the future.

And he will wonder how you solved it.

Marco vd Heijden:

#include <Controls/Button.mqh>

You shouldn't be using controls/button for on-chart buttons because those are meant to be added to CAppDialog. Instead use CChartObjectButton from the chartobjects lib. 

[Marco vd Heijden]

There isn't any problem with it.

If you do not want to use libraries then you don't have to.

Would this solve the text limit problem? At the moment I need two buttons for one line...
