Thank you very much, it is working fine for me.

For simple control you can read the OBJPROP_STATE via ObjectGetInteger() function.

Thank you. Now i can make it at tester.

Buttons dont work in tester.

ObjectGetInteger( 0, sparam, OBJPROP_STATE )

Always ZERO. Imposible click buton and button dont change state.

How use button s in tester ?

Bump. The workaround doesn't seem to work on MT5 anymore. In the strategy tester the buttons can't even be pushed down. If anyone knows something that might work please let us know. I would really appreciate it.

This topic is in the MT4 section. Why are you asking about MT5?

Excellent Gary!

You gave a solution that other members with more experience did not.

I read always the same answers from those members to this topic... but you made it!

Congratulations

Unfortunately it doesn't work with CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_ENDEDIT. Does anybody have a solution? Thanks!
