enum and smoothalgorithms

Hello again,

I have some problem with an enum Type. Since I am still a beginner, I hope you can help me.

I want to implement an indicator, called xdpo into my EA.

When i am trying to compile the indicator, this error occurs:

It seems to be, that the following function in the SmoothAlgorithms.mqh has a wrong input type.

But I have never worked with enum types before and I'm a bit confused. Below: the SmoothAlgorithms.mqh

I also think, it has something to do with the inputs of the indicator...See below:

If you need more details, both the header file and the indicator is attached.

thank you for your help!

Files:

smoothalgorithms.mqh 261 kb

xdpo.mq5 17 kb

you're declaring a global function of GetStartBars rather than declaring a public scope method hence failed.. and there is duplicate of GetStartBars

remove your enum from your class and declare it globally before you include your SmoothAlgorithms.mqh,..

you're good to go without exception / warnings

Global variable being reset Include Files [WARNING CLOSED!] Any newbie

thank you for your answer, but I'm still a beginner. Classes have remained totally strange for me so far.

Can you explain it a little more, maybe with an example?

Thank you!!
