Events from CDialogApp and events from chart
Use CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE which gives you the X, Y coordinates and the mouse's buttons state.
I don't see where you are driving at, the CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE event
will be triggered whether you move on a chart or on the dialog...
If it helps I created this to distinguish between clicks inside panel to the rest of the chart. Its subject to improvements though.
void OnChartEvent(const int id,const long &lparam,const double &dparam,const string &sparam) { panel.panelchartevent(id,lparam,dparam,sparam); if(id==CHARTEVENT_CLICK) { //--- Prepare variables int x =(int)lparam; int y =(int)dparam; datetime dt =0; double price =0; int window=0; if(panelClick(x,y)){ // do sth } } } bool panelClick(int x,int y) { int size=ObjectsTotal(0); for(int i=0; i<size; i++) { string name = ObjectName(0,i); if(ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_TYPE)!=OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL)continue; if(!StringFind(name,"Border"))continue; //If this ain't your case Go through objects list to find the name of the rectangle. //--- get label coordinates long obj_x=ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE); long obj_y=ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE); //--- get label size long obj_w=ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_XSIZE); long obj_h=ObjectGetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_YSIZE); if(x>=obj_x && x<=(obj_x+obj_w) && y>=obj_y && y<=(obj_y+obj_h) )return true; //returns true if click is anywhere within the panel } return false; }

Hello,
Getting inspiration from the source example Controls.mq5, I created my own CDialogApp panel. It works, but I'm not wondering how to distinguish between events ocurring in the panel and events ocurring on the chart. To make it simple, I need to intercept both clicks on the chart and clicks on the panel's buttons.
My first attempt was the following:
But a click on a panel's button is also intercept by the CHARTEVENT_CLICK event handler, which is not desirable. How would you handle this?
Regards,
Mark
This is part of a project mine. Try this:
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| ChartEvent function | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long &lparam, const double &dparam, const string &sparam) { //--- static bool ObjectClicked = false; switch(id) { case CHARTEVENT_CLICK : if(!ObjectClicked) OnChartClick(); ObjectClicked = false; break; case CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK : ObjectClicked = true; OnObjectClick(sparam); break; case CHARTEVENT_CHART_CHANGE : OnChartChange(); break; case CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN : OnChartKeydown(lparam); break; case CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE : OnMouseMove(lparam, dparam, sparam); break; case CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_WHEEL : OnMouseWheel(lparam, dparam, sparam); break; default: if(id >= CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM) { const int custom_id = id - CHARTEVENT_CUSTOM; OnEventCustom(custom_id, lparam, dparam, sparam); } break; } gui.ChartEvent(id, lparam, dparam, sparam); } //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnChartClick(void) {Print(__FUNCSIG__);} //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ //| | //+------------------------------------------------------------------+ void OnObjectClick(const string sparam) { bool is_gui_object = StringFind(sparam, gui.Name()) >= 0; if(is_gui_object) Print(__FUNCSIG__,", ",sparam," is gui object"); else Print(__FUNCSIG__,", ",sparam," is not gui object"); }
