Nikolai Semko:

I still don't understand. For an indicator or EA to work with your gui, does something else (kernel, engine, etc.) have to be running in parallel?

Not anymore. The engine is an open inclusive file. It's connected as shown in the illustration in the previous post. Look carefully again.

#include<GUI_DRIVE.mqh>

Ok then.
But how do I read and/or change some element in the first interface window from my program? What does it look like?
In my example it looks like this

if (myGUI.win[0].ChecBox[2].isCheck())   myGUI.win[1].TextLabel[5].text  =  DoubleToString(rates[0].close,_Digits);

Simpler. All functions of the controls are automatically named and printed to the api file. Need to get or change a checkbox? You start writing its name and intellisense gives you a list of your checkboxes with similar names:

This is where you write the reactions:

//=====================================================================================================================
//WINDOW:   Menu | element: CHECKBOX  | name: Simple checkbox  |  Location: Window's Main Frame
//=====================================================================================================================
case CHECKBOX3___Simple_checkbox:
               //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               //What to do when checkbox checked or unchecked?
               //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               switch((int)action)
               {
                case checked:     break;
  
                case unchecked:     break;
               }
               //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               //Your comment:
               //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               break;
  
//=====================================================================================================================

And here's his challenge:

E_Menu_Simple_checkbox(); 

It starts with prefix E_, then window name and item name. Intellisense will take care of it. You don't need to remember everything.

The graphical constructor can create defines, for example:

#define  close_prise_of_last_bar myGUI.win[1].TextLabel[5].text
#define  show_last_price myGUI.win[0].ChecBox[2].isCheck()

and then you can make the code even more readable:

if (show_last_price)  close_prise_of_last_bar  =  DoubleToString(rates[0].close,_Digits);

All of this has been around for a long time. It's been tested for a year now.

don't understand

[Реter Konow]

Nikolai Semko:

I don't get it.

You plug in three files and you have full ownership of all the gui created in the editor. It couldn't be simpler.

[Aliaksandr Hryshyn]

Is it possible to create graphic elements by code?

That doesn't make sense. If only by code of the markup language. An editor is the easiest option.

see how state-less gui works (google it) .

if (Button("hello world!")) {

printf("fck u self");

}

it draws and reacts to the button at the same time
