Discussing the article: "From Basic to Intermediate: Subwindows (IV)"
Write an article on how to create two sub-windows in a single indicator; that would be a real step forward!
Write an article on how to create two subwindows in a single indicator – that would be progress!
Check out the new article: From Basic to Intermediate: Subwindows (IV).
In the previous article, “From Basic to Intermediate: Subwindows (III)”, we explained how to handle certain situations involving subwindows. The main idea of that article revolves around the properties we can assign to a specific indicator. These properties allow us to tell the compiler how a particular subwindow should or should not be created.
As explained in the previous article, there are times when WE DO NOT WANT our indicator to have a second instance. We'll take a closer look at this type of situation in another article later on, when we start using certain properties to better control what MetaTrader 5 actually needs to do.
So we still have a lot to cover from what I consider to be the fundamentals of MQL5. Although MetaTrader 5 was primarily designed as a trading platform, we can make many changes to use it for a completely different purpose.
Remember that we can make MetaTrader 5 do anything. In many cases, we will have to resort to methods that go beyond what MQL5 offers by default. In such cases, we'll have to switch to C or C++ and use some method to link the MQL5 code with C or C++. Once you've done that, the gates of paradise—or perhaps hell—will open before you.
