Hi, I don't know that EasyOrder dll.

If I understand, it creates its own window which is certainly a child of the window (hwnd) you are passing as parameter.

So if you don't have the handle of that child window created by EasyOrder, you have to find it yourself

Without going into details, try to start with these Win32 functions that you will have to import your script :

Inserted Code
 
GetWindow( hwnd, GW_CHILD );
 
and
 
BOOL WINAPI MoveWindow( _In_  HWND hWnd, _In_  int X, _In_  int Y, _In_  int nWidth, _In_  int nHeight, _In_  BOOL bRepaint );

Sure, that is the place where the window be show after apply the script to the chart, i want it on an diffrent place X=3390, Y=140 (dualscreen resolution)
The script contains an .dll data if that is important

Ok, Here is how to go.

1. start from your original script. Remove what you added before.

2. Add the following line at the top of your file.

Inserted Code
#include <WinUser32.mqh>

3. After the Easy Order creation and return value check, add the two calls as shown below:

Inserted Code
// Locate this lines in your script:
 
int ret = EasyOrder(hwnd);
if(ret<0) {
   Alert("Dll function failed!");
   return(0);
}
 
// and add these lines below:
 
// Retrieves the window handle of the Easy Order Window
int hWnd = FindWindowW( NULL, "Easy Order" );  
if( hWnd != NULL ){
   SetWindowPos( hWnd, 0 , 3390, 140, 0, 0, 1 );
}


I think that it should do the job.

besides did anyone know an expert or script that shows the remaining time of actual current? (no indicator) coz i need permanently time update, not based on ticks!

  • Mar 26, 2014 7:16am Mar 26, 2014 7:16am
Not 100% sure but I think if there are no incoming ticks, no time (not correct time) is shown because scripts/ea/indicators work tickbased ...
Why do not you use your clock?
PM me with coding requests and I'll probably put you on my ignore list

I guess that you could probably use the OnTimer function set at 1 second and then check TimeCurrent against Period.
Not tried it though

Can you explain what is the "remaining time of actual current" ?

I don't understand, thanks.

I think he means the current bar.
