Chart minimising in CrapQl4

[SteveHopwood]

One for the Proper Coders here.

I would love to give users of my DFC Dashboard EA the option to have each newly-opened chart starting minimised.

Any of you Clever Clogs know how to do this?

Steve,

Unfortunately, we need the help of the WinAPI for this. This code below seems to work:

Code: Select all

bool chartMinimize(long chartID = 0) {

   if (chartID == 0) chartID = ChartID();
   
   int chartHandle = (int)ChartGetInteger( chartID, CHART_WINDOW_HANDLE, 0 );
   int chartParent = GetParent(chartHandle);
   
   return( ShowWindow( chartParent, SW_FORCEMINIMIZE ) );
}

See attached code for a test script that first minimizes all windows, waits and then maximizes them all again.

Hopes that this is of any use to you.
