New comment
 
Hello traders, I am trying to create one helpfull indicator, but I got one problem. I added 5 buttons with 5 labels, with different Timeframes, when I press any button the label changes and  writes that trend is UP, DOWT or something else. But I have a problem, when I change timeframe my all labels goes back to default, I cant find how to fix it, can anyone help me?

In case the symbol or timeframe of a chart, to which the Expert Advisor is attached, changes, Expert Advisors are not loaded or unloaded. In this case client terminal subsequently calls OnDeinit() handlers on the old symbol/timeframe and OnInit() on the new symbol/timeframe (if they are such), values of global variables and static variables are not reset. All events, which have been received for the Expert Advisor before the initialization is completed (OnInit() function) are skipped.

Thus the OnInit() event is raised. And in the OnInit () all items are created anew.

Store the state of the labels in global variables then (if they exist), load them in OnInit()

I use this code for resolve such problem

int LastDeinitReason = 0;

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
    LastDeinitReason = reason;
    if(reason==REASON_CHARTCHANGE || reason==REASON_TEMPLATE || reason==REASON_PARAMETERS)
        return;
    // code for real deinit 
}

int OnInit()
{
    if(LastDeinitReason==REASON_CHARTCHANGE || LastDeinitReason==REASON_TEMPLATE)
    {
        LastDeinitReason = 0;
        return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
    }
    if(LastDeinitReason==REASON_PARAMETERS)
    {
        SetParameters();
        return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);                              
    }
    // code for start init
}
