How to recognize ctrl+ Mouse left Click ?
Well, by reading the links mql5 automatically added at the bottom of my post, I figured out that there is no direct answer for this question.
Then I will try to find another way to have the same result.
Maybe I measure the time difference between the last key-down (sparam 16413) and the click event, so if it was the minimum time interval like 20 millisecond or less + the event after the click was still the Ctrl, then I can do what I want to do.
Maybe some other idea.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
BTW, if there is any

Thank you very much Lorentzos Roussos .
I'm happy you shared this interesting codes, not just because I can get the answer for my question, but also the way you wrote the code had a lot to learn for me.
I understood all of it, and enjoyed learning your codes.
Thank you very much.

Hi
I'm trying to recognize the ctrl+mouse left click.
When I press ctrl the ID is CHARTEVENT_KEYDOWN and the sparam is 29
if I hold the ctrl down the ID remains the same but the sparam is 16413, which I think this is what I need to use.
I also know that the mouse left click id is CHARTEVEN_CLICK with no sparam (I guess).
But as the events come one by one, I can't get ctrl+ Click.
Is there a way to recognize such action?
Regards
