Bruce,
You Should NOT cut-n-paste code between the includes, or
any other programs.
You are making it too complicated, Just copy the files intact, you can have
many different include files in your include folder. Include programs are
labeled as such and should be copied into your default include folder. Each
demo program should be copied into an indicator Formula window.
The posts are "as developed" hence the last
Include and demo code would provide the best solutions. for this reason code
from different posts CANNOT be mixed. Always use the last one.
I included one of each type of button and required functions in the last
post (Button
Rotate), they are:
ButtonColumnBegin
ButtonHeader
ButtonText
ButtonRotate
ButtonTrigger
ButtonColumnEnd
Each of the indented button functions can be repeated between the Begin and
End of the column to give you additional buttons.
The entire button column, including Begin and End functions, can be repeated
to create button panels with as many button columns as you need.
best regards,
herman
