New MT4 GUI

Hey guys,

I'm testing some new MT4 GUI (all native MQL/ no dlls) elements which I back-ported from a MT5 GUI library found here. I'm hesitant to start dumping a lot of time into developing this until I get some feedback from this first test example, but so far it looks promising. Ideally it would be nice to have an all in one tool-box with tabs for common trading activities. Some example tabs could include:

 

  1. A table of FF calendar news events with check-box next to event for alerts and column header which sort events.

    1. A sub-tab with "tick-replay" to view a graphical chart of the tick-data captured from the event.


  2. A trading tab that includes one click trading which includes common features like one-click trading, break-even, trailing, etc.
  3. History Table to sort and filter history trades by magic, symbol, comment, etc, etc.
  4. Exposure Tab to view current market exposure.
  5. Current Open orders table.
  6. Templates Tab
  7. Chart Switcher Tab

I'm sure you get the point. So please try the GUI_TEST (**installs in experts folder**)and let me know what you like / don't like.

Regards,

Just two notes:
It keeps unlocking the dragging chart when the cursor is outside the panel, so other panels unintentionally drag the chart.
On exit it disables the mouse event, so other panels on the chart (from indicators) turn inactive and cannot be dragged.
And I also noticed the panel does not scale on a high resolution display.

Guys, Please test drive this GUI. Remember to place it in EXPERTS folder...

For tab 1, prefer history centre layout..,

Excellent work so far,

MT4 will be here for a long time, and until my broker switches to MT5 I'll be developing in both.

Looks very promising. I also tried to convert the MT5 GUI Lib but didn't succeed. Have you done any further work and/or did you gave it to the public?
I'm very interested.

Thanks

It could be worse.

Dear Nicholishen,

Would you please tell me if you could develop MT4 and MT5 expert using this template for me? We would like to use your template for our project.

In case that you can develop an expert for me under a project-based contract, kindly inform me at the earliest possible time.

Regards
