force mt4 trade tab or any tab in view always.

 
I want to keep my view on the "Trade" tab/window but everytime I get something in the "mailbox" tab/window it just automatically switches to it,......
then I have to click on the Trade tab again to see how my trades are going........

Is there a way to stop this from happening and gets quite annoying when you have multiple MetaTrader 4 terminals open...
 
No, I think it is like this by design, to alert you to the fact that you have mail.
 
Is there a way with script or EA to detect if the mail tab is in view, and then switch to a different tab?

No 4evermaat, what you're asking is WinAPI programming, something like this (https://www.mql5.com/en/code it's possible but a little bit too risky if done by script, EA, or CI.

How many email, do you receive btw ?

:D

Some brokers send several messages a day.  It is annoying when you are trying to record the screen.

 I think a trader should be allowed to leave their platform one way, and when they return, the platform looks EXACTLY the same as they left it.  This includes the tabs in the terminal.  I find it hard to believe that metaquotes would overlook this, as it would be easy for MQ to just let the user select if the tabs are allowed to switch themselves to be active.  The switching is being enforced internally by the terminal, and I would like for MQ to stop enforcing it (give the user the choice).  What harm would it do?

 

edit:  someone else identified this problem over 5 years ago and MQ did nothing about it.  http://www.metatrader4.com/forum/3073  .  What's the big deal about this tab that it must be forced on the user to switch? 

 

Ok guys, 10 years later again.

Did anyone find a solution for disabling/deleting all tabs except for the trade tab in MT4 and MT5?

Thanks!

 

What part of “no” was unclear ten years ago?
