CAppDialog panel auto minimizing

New comment
 

below is my code for a simple panel using CAppDialog class. the problem is when change pairs this panel gets minimized automatically. for example, let's say I loaded this to EURUSD and I switch to USDJPY and comeback to EURUSD, I can see only a minimized panel. I don't know why this happens? is there anything I'm doing wrong? what's even more strange is when I set y2 value to 246 it works without a problem. but for values greater than 246 it gets minimized. how can I overcome this without modifying libraries?

These are the basics of the Windows system. When the timeframe is changed, the WINDOW of the chart changes its size. As you know, the WINDOW has two states: fully open ( ) and collapsed ( ). Minimize the window and increase its size. Now, when changing the chart, the window in the "minimized" mode will have the maximum size and the panel (probably) will not be minimized.

It makes no difference - these are the basics of the Windows system. Instead of objecting, we would have tried increasing the window size long ago and solved our problem :)

You can write to Microsoft - so that they change the work of Windows.

For now, do this:
