Check out the new article: MQL5 Trading Tools (Part 8): Enhanced Informational Dashboard with Draggable and Minimizable Features.
In this article, we develop an enhanced informational dashboard that upgrades the previous part by adding draggable and minimizable features for improved user interaction, while maintaining real-time monitoring of multi-symbol positions and account metrics.
We're upgrading the Informational Dashboard from Part 7 by adding draggable and minimizable features, along with interactive buttons and hover effects, to make it more flexible and user-friendly for managing multiple positions. These upgrades are relevant because they will allow the dashboard to be moved anywhere on the chart, minimizing clutter during analysis, while the minimize option will save screen space, and the interactive elements will provide immediate visual feedback, improving the overall trading experience in fast-paced environments.
We will achieve this by incorporating mouse event handling for dragging and button clicks, ensuring the dashboard remains responsive and adaptable without losing its core position tracking capabilities. We will also add an icon in the header for the export feature, so it is easy to find, but still keep the keyboard key feature. We plan to maintain the sortable grid and real-time updates while adding these enhancements, creating a tool that feels intuitive and efficient for daily use. Have a look below at what we aim to achieve, and then we can proceed to the implementation!
