Do it correctly - processing of the forbidden flag immediately upon entering the function.

Although... Just a moment...

Added:

No. You just need to process the press depending on the forbidden flag.

I see your point, thank you

I won't be able to help you - I don't support the old terminal long ago.

Ok ok, no problem! Thanks a lot

  1. In the nearest update the standard library will be restored - accordingly the Defines.mqh file will be restored.
  2. It is not good to edit the standard library.
In theory - you can Defines.mqh - just inside the project, i.e. do not access the file

#include <Controls\Label.mqh>
#include <Controls\Panel.mqh>
#include <Controls\Edit.mqh>
// #include <Controls\Defines.mqh>
#include <Controls\Button.mqh>
But the method below is more beautiful.

Why does the panel move away when updating Expert Advisor settings?

Approximately like this:

// BEFORE connecting Dialog.mqh!
#include <Controls\Defines.mqh>

//--- Forget the old colours
#undef   CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_BORDER_LIGHT
#undef   CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_BORDER_DARK
#undef   CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_BG
#undef   CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_CAPTION_TEXT
#undef   CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_CLIENT_BG
#undef   CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_CLIENT_BORDER

//--- Set new colours
#define  CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_BORDER_LIGHT  clrWhite            // Dialog border colour (outside)
#define  CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_BORDER_DARK   C'0xB6,0xB6,0xB6'   // Dialog border colour (inside)
#define  CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_BG            clrLightGreen       // Dialog background (under the caption and around the client area)
#define  CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_CAPTION_TEXT  C'0x28,0x29,0x3B'   // Dialog caption text colour
#define  CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_CLIENT_BG     clrAliceBlue        // Client area background colour
#define  CONTROLS_DIALOG_COLOR_CLIENT_BORDER C'0xC8,0xC8,0xC8'   // Client area colour

// Now connect
#include <Controls\Dialog.mqh>

"prev_timestatictoday variable declared in OnCalculate() function"

Typo, it's not a today variable it's a static variable.

I have buttons on the panel spontaneously pressed when I just move the mouse over them without clicking, it's weird.
