What code is sent when OK button is clicked in indi params?

What code is sent when the OK button is clicked? I want to duplicate that command in a custom indi. Has anyone any experience or knowledge of this? Probably requires a decompiling of MT4 which is way beyond my scope of knowledge or time. I've tried ChartRedraw() and WindowRedraw() but it does not do the same complete refresh.

No code is sent when OK is clicked. It just sets up the input parameters.
If you want to use something similar in a custom indi, read up on enum in the help documentation.

If the indicator is already applied to the chart and you change (or even just view) the Inputs tab:
1. OnDeinit() gets called
2. Then OnInit() is called
Basically the same as removing the indicator then adding it again.

If you mean what values are sent when an enumeration is used, it depends on whether you explicitly defined them or not
e.g.
Inserted Code
enum MyEnumeration
  {
   banana,
   orange,
   apple
  };
In this example, the enumerations start from 0:
banana==0
orange==1
apple==2

Alternatively, you can specify the value when you declare the enumeration:
Inserted Code
enum MyEnumeration
  {
   banana=12,
   orange=18,
   apple=-37
  };

Any way to force 1. OnDeinit() gets called 2. Then OnInit() in every minute or every half hour or every hour intervals in the indi code?

OK. I can get the indi to refresh as expected by going to the Charts menu and selecting Refresh in MT4.

I had read somewhere that this is equivalent to the command of WindowRedraw();

Question 1: Is WindowRedraw(); the same as OnDeInit and OnInit cycling through?


Question 2: How can I get an indi to WindowRedraw(); on each new bar?

Currently the indi only updates the new bars with new indi data, but I want it to WindowRedraw(); on each new bar.

This is my last question to you about MADdash even you didn't reply to me, I hope you reply and help me: Do you calculate the Moving Average in 'Current Bar' or 'Previous Bar'?? (Shift: 0 is current bar and Shift: 1 is previous bar).
