{quote} Sorry, no idea why. Buttons have nothing in common with the dlls (dlls are needed only to download data). If the close button works, then the minimize button must work too (since the code that handles those two is exactly the same). Try using it on a clean chart - just in case that some other indicator (or ea) on that same chart is trying to take over the chart for itslef only

{quote} It was a clean chart, only button that closes the indi works. Only one instance of indi was loaded on a single chart. P.S.: Buttons in another indi similar to the ones shown in post #14 work fine.

{quote} Yes I know that indicator too (the first versions(s) were made by me too ) Those buttons from the two indicators are exactly the same type - you can check them in the objects list and you shall see them when you press the "list all" option. No secret there

Hi mladen, I want to try this out but I'm not in the practice of enabling DLLs in projects that are closed-source (for obvious security reasons). I assume that you are using it for the xml download and if that's the case and it's not too much trouble would you mind using MQL WebRequest instead? Here is a snippet of code that I in my library use to avoid DLL calls and keep everything safe-and-sound in the sandbox. bool CFFEvents::_XmlDownload() { string cookie=NULL,headers; char post[],result[]; int res; //--- to enable access to the server, you...

Just one small addition to the first post : _______________________________ - Minimizing the window does not turn the indicator off. All the settings and choices are still valid (that were set using the button choices) and the indicator is working the same as if it was not minimized at all (except that it takes less space on the chart - like on the example) {image}

{quote} Since you helped me testing this, using your post too for that .... _____________________ For those that maybe have some issues with the buttons of news reader - this version solves that. You need it only in cases when the regular version from post #1 of this thread does not manage the buttons well. So far it seems that only windows 10 with Russian character set used in windows has that issue ... {file}

{quote} If I may, I'd like to ask you the similar Q as before. Why you won't just update the indi file in the 1st post with new one, as it consists the old ver., and make the new post saying that the file was updated with little description of what and why was changed? I mean, new people will come and download the indi from 1st post and might have same problem and will seek for the solution and ask you same Qs.

{quote} Done that too - first post updated (you are right - for the sake of simplicity only one version shall be kept) The ones that did not have that issue do not need to download anything - the newer version just addresses one special case and solves it. The rest is exactly the same Happy trading all
