Hi, on executing the following code, why is it, the bmp file shows okay when i place ea directly onto the chart but when i use on tester it doesnt show the image?
This problem is in mql5. In mql4 it works with no problems on chart or tester the image is always showing?
I have sent 2 images to show what i mean?
Help would be really appreciated
Also i notice when i add a get last error code i get error 5019
Which is saying file does not exist? Which makes no sense as it is finding the image okay when placed on chart?
Now i find when i use the following it works
#resource "\\Images\\euro.bmp" int OnInit() { string objName1="img1"; string imgFile1="::Images\\euro.bmp"; //ObjectDelete(0,objName1); ObjectCreate(0,objName1,OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL,0,0,0); ObjectSetString(0,objName1,OBJPROP_BMPFILE,0,imgFile1); ObjectSetInteger(0,objName1,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,200); ObjectSetInteger(0,objName1,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,200); return(INIT_SUCCEEDED); }
So somehow by using resource it can understand the file.
Though im pleased ive now got it to display id still like to know why this is?
