I would like a command button in mt4, is it possible?
The way i would solve this problem is to have scripts bound to hotkeys. You have no visible button for the mouse to click but you can consider a key on the keaboard as a 'button' too because from an ergonomic and UI-design perspective it is the closest to a click button you can get.

The script would then either directly perform the actions or if it must interact with an EA set global variables that the running EA would query (and reset) at every tick to know that the user has pressed the key.

The disadvantage of these hotkey-scripts is it is more complicated to install (if you are targeting end users), the advantage is that it is way more comfortable to use than doubleclicking *and* moving or deleting objects on the screen.
