MT4 script user Input select-field

Hello Folks,

I'm just experimenting a bit with scripts in MT4.
I would like to modify a script as follows:

I have activated the user inputs Also have this variable So if I double click the script I can change the lots, entering whatever number.

What I would like to see instead is a selct field where I can select of different preset values (lot sizes).
Is the MQ4 language able to do that?
If so: How?

Thanks.

Sounds like your talking about a select box. No you can't do that in mql.

Thanks for the reply!

In the meantime I found an expert (CaveManager) which offers the select box (please see attached picture).

Too bad that there is only the mq4 file available - so I can't see the souce for the select option. But it seemes that there is a way. Anybody any further information?

Thanks.

boolean will show like that, so do colors

but not integers or doubles, or strings

sorry

Ok - Thanks for the clarification.

They should implement that! Its incredible is not implemented!

Hi,
Look at the dates on those posts May 2009. Drop down selection lists can be done with the latest MT4.

A simple example:
Yields:


Bear in mind that enums are 4 byte integers, so more code is necessary if you're working with other data types (i.e the OP's lot size example)

Awesome! Better later than never
