Possible to create a button that "put in your hands" a customised object?

New comment
 

Hello. Is it possible to create a button that when pressed behave like when you press the "draw rectangle" button but it gives you a rectangle of a certain color?

Like create a button called "white" rectangle and when you press it then you can draw a white rectangle with your cursor, without having to draw the rectangle and then right click and change color to white.

Thank's.

 
Yes
 

Hi

Yes, but you need to code a script (EA or indicator) for it you can create a simple button and then code the function which will manage pressing this button.

For example, make the EA with function in OnInit:

long cId = ChartID();
   name = “white”;
   if(ObjectFind(cId, name)<0){
      ObjectCreate(cId, name, OBJ_BUTTON, 0,0,0);
      ObjectSetString(cId, name, OBJPROP_TEXT, “CREATE RECTANGLE”);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name,OBJPROP_FONTSIZE, 10);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_COLOR, clrWhite);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_BGCOLOR, clrBlue);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name,OBJPROP_BACK,false); 
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_STATE, false);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId,name,OBJPROP_CORNER, CORNER_LEFT_UPPER);       
   ObjectSetInteger(cId,name,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 5);
   ObjectSetInteger(cId,name,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 20); 
   ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_XSIZE, 50);
   ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_YSIZE, 20);
 }


And then in the OnChartEven function add this: 
 
if (id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK)
   {
      if (sparam==”white”)
      {
         drawRectangle(clrWhite);
      }
}
void drawRectangle(color clr){
   name = “Rectangle”;
   long cId = ChartID();
//you can set here initial times and prices for rectangle 
        datetime t1 = Time[1];
        datetime t2 = Time[10];
        double p1 = Open[1];
        double p2 = Open[10] ;

   if(ObjectFind(cId, name)<0){
      ObjectCreate(cId, name, OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, t1, p1, t2, p2);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_COLOR, clr);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_WIDTH, 1);
      ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_BACK, true);
ObjectSetInteger(cId, name, OBJPROP_FILL, true);
   }
}

Best Regards

Thank's, but this way it directly draw it on chart. I would like to have it "on my hands", like this when you press the rectangle symbol on MT4 tool bar and your cursor have a little rectangle indicating that it will spawn a rectangle where you will click on the chart.
