Just made an IDE for MQL4

[gaheitman]

w633, when I try to compile a script, I get these error messages:

2;76;C:\Program Files\Cowboy IBFX Trader 4\Cowboy IBFX demos\Software development\Software development\experts\scripts\TradeHedgeBUYALL.mq4;10:1;'WinUser32.mqh' - cannot open the program file
2;76;C:\Program Files\Cowboy IBFX Trader 4\Cowboy IBFX demos\Software development\Software development\experts\scripts\TradeHedgeBUYALL.mq4;11:1;'stdlib.mqh' - cannot open the program file

What can I do?

Just a quick update, to try to bring the ide to wider attention.

I have been using this ide ever since w633 first published it.

It is absolutely fantastic and saves me a shed-load of time every time I use it. It has revolutionised my coding life.

I hope w633 is still around and will read all the praise.
It is well deserved and yes, I am using his IDE every day.

Thanks, w633, for sharing your IDE with us.

@W633 (Will)
Thanks for introducing this fine IDE to this forum. You have done a superb job. I have never seen such an enthusiastic reception of a software application. And to think that I had been resisting even looking at it because I thought that it was probably "just another IDE," like MetaEditor. I will be very interested in seeing what you come up with in regards to creating an IDE from Visual Studio Isolated Shell.

@Baluda (Paul)
Thanks for providing me with the link to this thread yesterday, without even mentioning the name.

@gaheitman (George)
Thanks for providing the practical solutions to some of the issues that have arisen with people trying to integrate this IDE into their work. Your contributions will save me an immeasurable amount of time in coming up to speed with using this IDE.

MetaEditor will be departing this station soon!

Regards,

You can share SciTE with the changes that you made? I would be very grateful to you.

[Carioca]

I'm with 3 problems, I managed to solve one.

When I compile the results of backtesting compiling at MetaEditor gave a result and compiling at SciTE, gave a different result, little difference, the solution was to replace the file metalang.exe napastaother / at metalang file of the current version of Empty4 platform.

In the print you will realize that it has a white line do not know why it appears.

The expert has the Languages ​​English and Russian, but Russian letters not appear anybody know how to fix on windows 7?

I have chosen the Russian language for programs, not uni-code, more did not work on SciTE

thanks

My first post on this forum, very impressed at the content though and very happy to have found such a useful resource.

Thanks w633 for making and sharing the IDE. I started on MQL this year but have loathed using the MetaEditor after doing a lot of work in Java with Eclipse.. Your IDE appears to have some excellent functionality and will be using it from now on

Looking forward to reading and hopefully sharing more here in time.

I tried the editor for the first time today, following the advice and installed it to the terminal root. I realized I avoided confusion mentioned by some guys before, as the paths of the applications became equal.

Then I redirected the compiler to the terminal root in mql.properties, in addition to the compile.bat, which fixed all the issues with #include.

Code: Select all

metalang=$(SciteDefaultHome)\other\metalang.exe

to

Code: Select all

metalang=$(SciteDefaultHome)\metalang.exe

Still, the path $(SciteDefaultHome) should't be used here, but if the paths are equal now, I do not care.

I definitively give a try to the editor, it has some features I like, and some I am not sure yet. I'll tell next week.
