Making CPanel solution more pretty

Hello, I've worked through issues I was having with behavior of a subclass of CPanel used in a custom indicator of mine. My primary remaining issue was maintaining the maximized/minimized state of the panel when changing timeframes. I solved this (after implementing other solutions toward this goal)

Desperately seeking help on a CDialog problem -- mostly runs fine, but periodically becomes unusable

I have 30-40 hours studying and partially resolving this problem through ways that are not solving the problem, but trying to avoid it and/or reset it, with moderate but not complete success. Anyone with experience dealing with nuances of instances of CAppDialog (combined with CChart etc.) Please

Workable but nagging issue w/CDialog -- mouse events and drags flow through to the chart

I got my big issues with CDialog worked out thanks to Manuel Alejandro Cercos Perez -- appreciate the suggestion Manuel! A nagging issue is that when I click on a button on the dialog, if I move the mouse at all while clicking, it scrolls the chart behind it. Similarly, dragging within the body of

I literally paste the SELECT statement from my MQL code into the database query interface. In the query interface I get six records. In the MQL I

Is it possible for an indicator to know if it was dropped on a chart vs. created by iCustom() from another indicator?

Hello all, I have an indicator #1 that uses iCustom() to call another indicator #2. Indicator #2 as part of its operation puts labels on the chart. I can use ChartIndicatorsGet() within indicator #2 to test if it actually exists on a chart and if not, then not draw the labels. No problem. However

I wrote a function so an indicator can send one pseudo-tick to chart if the market is closed, any way to improve it?

Hello, This code appears to work great when dropping an indicator on a chart when the market is closed. I've prevented recursive calls with a static variable. Hoping an expert might be willing to evaluate this code for: - Internal terminal behavior which makes this inadvisable? - Some cool idea how
