Re: [amibroker] Refresh Parameter Window

Different people, different opinions Thomasz. In other words, I do not agree with what you're telling me. Of course speed is important in AmiBroker when plotting graphs, doing backtests etc. etc. But when talking about the interactive or GUI part, the official standard for me is 2 seconds. And refreshing a Window does not cost 2 seconds. Even less than 1 second. I am doing this in Visual Foxpro and am getting an immediate refresh. So I just don't buy your argument. But what is even worse, by not giving a refresh possibility in the Parameter Window I cannot solve my problem. And the problem is simple. Sometimes I want to see certain Params in the Window and other times I don't. Simply because they can create errors during the selection process. Something that will cost me a lot more time than a simple refresh, Finally, why not let the AmiBroker user decide if he or she wants to use the refresh function in the Parameter Window yes or no ...

Hello,
 
There is no reason to "refresh" param window because it is VERY BAD IDEA.
Allowing this would lead to lockups /freezes when your formula attempted for example to remove
the parameter which user actually plays with.
And Params() should NEVER be placed in conditional statements as they are read only ONCE
(when you Apply the formula or make any changes).
Every GUI update in Windows is slow compared to AFL execution times and every GUI refresh
would slow down AFL execution, while AFL execution time is always priority.
 
The are three words to AmiBroker design: speed, speed, speed.

I like your answer Thomasz but that does not solve my problem. Of course when I am not allowed to put Params within conditional statements then there is no reason for refreshing the Param window. So what you'are saying is that I cannot refresh the Param window. Is that correct ? Or is it also impossible to use the Param instruction within a conditional statement for other reasons than refreshing ? Because I checked that and indeed had problems with the Param variable within the conditional statement ...
 
You understand of course my underneath mentioned problem from a logical point of view. Is there a way to get this coded in AFL ?
 
Best regards,
Ton Sieverding.

Hello,

Parameters must not be put inside conditional statements.
