Is WindowHandle(Symbol(),Period()) ambiguous?

LawrenceIpsum 2022.02.08 22:09

The documentation says that WindowHandle() "returns the system handle of the chart window."

There may be multiple windows open on a given symbol and period. If we call WindowHandle() with the Symbol() and Period() of the chart that the currently executing code is associated with (CI, EA or Script), how do we know we will get the window handle of current chart and not the handle of some other open chart that has the same Symbol() and Period()?

There is no such function in mql5.

Please ask your mql4 question on the correct forum section.

Arggg!

Sorry Alain - was trying to do the right thing but I find the organization of the forum categories extremely unintuitive.

Thanks for moving my post to the correct topic (if you were the one to do that).
