This is exactly what I needed.

Please, make sure you got the latest update, because you quoted not the most recent one published on this thread.

Please fix it.

Please fix it.


Thank you. I fixed it a bit differently.

struct TestCacheInputExtended: public TestCacheInput
{
   ...   
   void operator=(const TestCacheInput &other)
   {
      TestCacheInput::operator=(other);
      extend();
   }
};

It's more convenient and logical, because extend() doesn't need to be explicitly called.

NB: the attached file contains other useful edits.

Thanks, now it's even more practical.

CalendarRecordById.mq5 - Errors

Ryan L Johnson, 2025.12.19 17:44

@MetaQuotes Support, the above referenced calendar indicator published in the MQL5 Book content appears to contain deprecated code. 

The file is referenced at Reading event records by ID - Advanced language tools - MQL5 Programming for Traders.

The file, itself, is at: https://www.mql5.com/en/code/download/45596/CalendarRecordById.mq5.

Of course, you'll need to download the included library files to reproduce the issues.

errors

Personally, I've used a workaround to get what I need in my code. My purpose here is to ensure that the documentation is kept current.

Of course, MQL5 is constantly changing, and unfortunately MQ does this in a way which often breaks back-compatibility. I don't think this is a proper way of improving the platform, but anyway - the only thing we can do is to fix the problems by patches, according to new syntax. For example, in this case just add the single line:

struct MqlCalendarRecord: public MqlCalendarValue
{
   using MqlCalendarValue::operator=;
   ...
};
Just follow the official news about the changes in MQL5 syntax.
