I assume Newdigital moved my post into this thread... however, I have followed all of the links here and none of them solve my problem.
I need a program to capture a
mouse event, not a keyboard event. The two are very different. A keyboard event can be captured to run something as it relates in general to your current chart, such as to open a Buy/Sell at market price. In contrast, a mouse event (i.e. left-mouse click) -- if this problem can be solved -- can capture a
specific time & price on your current chart!
Native MT4 commands can do this with ease of course. You can execute a menu command or push an icon, and the program then prompts you to left-mouse-click on whatever spot on your chart you want for your command. I'm looking for a way that I can access this mouse control from within a script (or perhaps by an EA as well).
Still looking for a solution... anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
