Hi there,
I have got a question about Chart Events:
Is it possible to check out, when a chart window becomes the “on top” one / gets the focus?
Already checked:
Having e.g. the UK100 chart-window maximize on top, I call the e.g. EURUSD window to maximize by klicking the tab below.
Both windows gets a CHART_EVENT with id == CHARTEVENT_CHART_CHANGE
All the other parameters (lparam dparam sparam) are empty.
Unfortunately there are a lot of other reasons for the terminal to call the CHARTEVENT_CHART_CHANGE.
How to figure out what’s going on?
There is a ChartSetInteger(0,CHART_BRING_TO_TOP,0) but no ..Get.. for it.
This is also a Funktion ChartGetInteger(chart_ID,CHART_WINDOW_IS_VISIBLE,sub_window,value)) which deals only with subwindows.
What is my idea behind it? I am not so happy with the auto scroll MT5 does. I would like to set the scale my way. At the moment I do that whenever the EA goes through OnInit (Start, Chance of Period) by setting the CHART_FIXED_MAX/ CHART_FIXED_Min values, which works fine.
When I switch between the Charts, MT5 seems to mix up the CHART_FIXED_MAX/ CHART_FIXED_Min values from one EA to the other.
Any idea?
