Missing or Unavailable Include Files in MT5: time.mqh, history.mqh, stdlib.mqh, ChartObjects/ChartObjectsButtons.mqh
Hello MQL5 team and fellow developers, > > While working on a MetaTrader 5 trading system, I've encountered references to several include files that seem to be missing or unavailable in the default MT5 installation. Specifically: > > - time.mqh > - history.mqh > - stdlib.mqh (often included in MT4 but not found in MT5) > - ChartObjects/ChartObjectsButtons.mqh (referenced in standard library documentation but not bundled) > > I’ve checked the Include directory in MetaEditor and searched through the CodeBase, but I haven’t been able to find official versions of these files for MT5. > > My questions: > 1. Are these files supposed to be part of the standard MT5 environment? > 2. If not, is there a recommended way to implement or substitute their functionality? > 3. Could MetaQuotes consider bundling or reintroducing simplified versions of these utility modules? > > I'd really appreciate any clarification or links to verified resources. Thanks for your help and for the incredible tools you all continue to develop! > > —Ssemugabi Angelo

Please, don't request help for ChatGPT (or other A.I.) generated code. It generates horrible code, mixing MQL4 and MQL5. Please use the Freelance section for such requests — https://www.mql5.com/en/job
