Re: [amibroker] Button to place AFL in chart HELP!, AmiBroker Email List Archive

always start running the entire example, if you only run what you copied in your email things will not work.

Start with all code as presented and only when you understand how it works change ONE small thing at a time. That way you always know what cause the error.

Here is what I am doing, I copy this file (ControlPanelInclude-004.afl) into my include folder in my current Amibroker directory. Then I copy the (demo file) as Herman calls it into the formula editor and click “apply” which produces a price pane with a blue button at the top called HEADER, I also see the words:

Button Coordinates: 0

Action: HEADER

Transmit: 0

When I click on the blue HEADER button nothing happens.

I know I have the include file in the proper location because I can go back and rename it and then I get this error:

Error42.

#include failed because file does not exist

Etc….

Can anybody shed some light here?

thanks

Not sure exactly what you are doing.. it works for me. Copy the include in its entirety to your Include folder,

Then copy the entire demo code to an Indicator and click apply. The first button (Red) Only displays text, the other four buttons should change color if you click on them. You should also here the button coordinates through you speakers.

Amateur hour again over here, I copied the AFL that places the Column Header 1 button on my chart into my chart and the other AFL in the include file. The only thing that I get is the blue header button on chart when I click it nothing happens?

Visit the User's Knowledge Base

see Real-Time Control Panels, perhaps the Trigger Buttons can help you. Designed for Real-Time trading they can be used for other purposes too.
