How to get the total number of pixels of a window?

Yes Iam french too, I have a brother name Roger that is why I made the comment. I hardly ever see that name here in the US.


I dont know how you coded your indicator that would lock up MT. What I have on my terminal is a dozen code blocks most have a mouse over menu, a drag and drop icon or other trigger to make them run, if the trigger is not applied the code shorts circutes on the first line in the start function. that is if( ! mouseOverXX ) return; type of statement. which has never locked up MT. I have one code that draws candles of different time scales and it has to wate to draw them when first called because of the way MT has to be forced to down load price data not native to the current chart. This I do by short circurting the code as well, You can not even scale the chart window till all the data is downloaded.

Hi there, Keit,

Nice, man, I rewrote the part with the shortcut idea as you decribed it and stability improved very, VERY much. Every once in a while, while changing from a heavy profile to another heavy profile the glitch reoccurs, but now it's happening pretty rarely and is very usable. Placing the code right at the beginning of the start function made a big difference. This is how the code ended up:

int r[4];
GetWindowRect(WindowHandle(Symbol(), Period()), r);
if (r[3]-r[1]<1) return;
int Window_Height_Coeficient = (r[3]-r[1]);
double WindowPriceRange = WindowPriceMax()-WindowPriceMin();
if (WindowPriceRange<1) return;
Spacing = 10.5*WindowPriceRange/Window_Height_Coeficient;

I'm still testing it but results seem very good. Thank you very much for you help!

This is good Will be looking at your code closer tonight may be can see something else that will help. I not sure what you mean by HEAVY profile however.

I forgot to mentions you have to also watch what you do in the init() function because some of the function dont work there as some of the information is not present at the time of running the init(). Like the number of windows the max hight min hight etc.... are not present at that time. that information is only available after the run of the start function.

I'll let you know if I see something to improve your work.
