I would like to be able to know over which pane the mouse is clicked, this would allow trading multiple stocks. Knowing which pane the mouse click is over would also allow development of "control panels" for single click system control, thus by passing the param window which is not designed for system control. This has all been discussed, and suggestions have been submitted years ago. Notably when the mouse functions were first introduced and then next when the gfx function were introduced. No solution ever surfaced.
There is no polling involved; a mouse-click will refresh the chart and that is when you sample the cursor position. I have done that years ago: it works extremely fast. Mind you that eSignal data would be required, IB data is too slow for most fast trading. I aborted the project because is was to risky to trade.
AB generally provides general solution that give the user full freedom. I like that: I prefer freedom to write my own routines.
best regards,
herman
