Yes it is true. Double click on the value in the column labeled "Value" to highlight, then change the value.

Open the mq4 file in metaeditor and change the value there if you can.

yes this works alright, but im not too clever on the coding side of things... iv changed some colours and the like on certain indys, but thats as far as it goes, im trying to change settings in Zup 75 at the moment ...... the code is like a small novel !!!

Mike,

Changing the inputs from the menu only works on the PC. I have MT4 running on Ubuntu (using Wine) as well as my PC and I cannot edit the setting from the menu on my Ubuntu box. I don't know what function allows the editing from the menu, but apparently emulators generally do not have the ability to use that functionality.

I'm not stating that it's impossible to get an emulator to allow changes through the input menu, I'm just stating that I have never got it to work and I have heard many stories using multiple emulators about the input menu not working.

I'm glad you figured out the setting changes in the editor - it's not pretty but it gets the job done.
