Alert if no 'Smiling face"?

LazyForex · #1 (**permalink**) 10-03-2006, 11:38 AM

Many a times I have accidently switch off EA when interchanging accounts. Is there a way to create an Alert if the EA is accidently turned off (no "Smiling face") ? Any input will be appreciated...

why dont uncheck the box in Tool/Option--> "Expert Advisors" tab
--> Disable experts when the account has been changed
--> Disable experts when the profile has been changed

instead

Thanks for the tip phoenix but am still hoping that an audible alert can be programmed into the EA or something. Dont anyone here has this problem?

i think it has to be an indicator .. cos if the expert button is off, then the ea can not work but indicator still

and maybe something like this

here it is
----------do not forget to include this file
#include <WinUser32.mqh>

if(!IsExpertEnabled())
{
MessageBox("Expert Button Is Off","Message",MB_OK|MB_ICONWARNING);
PlaySound("alert.wav");
}
