Virtual Tester doesn't react to buttons

Hi,

I am trying to test an expert which has some buttons on the chart f.e. to pause buying new positions. But if I am running a virtual test the ea doesn't react when I press the button.

Is there any possibility, to use this features also during virtual testing?

I believe you mean visual test.
Mouse clicks (events) do no work in the tester.
