You need to do it manually.
Figure out where the mouse is (pick it up from either CHARTEVENT_CLICK or CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK or CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE)
Figure out where the object is (ObjectGetInteger).
See if the mouse x/y is within the object's area.

Do you want to know if it has been clicked, or just hovering over the line?

void OnChartEvent(const int id, const long& lparam, const double& dparam, const string& sparam) { if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CLICK && sparam==line_name) // line has been clicked { } }

thank you, but the problem here is that the event is only triggered when the mouse button is released again. but i need it to register when the mouse button is only pressed but not released :/

Then it's not a click.

Yep, so you'll need to use CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_MOVE, check the mouse location relative to your line, and check sparam for the mouse button status.

Ok thanks! I guess I'll just use CHARTEVENT_MOUSE_CLICK then as this obviously isn't foreseen in mql4 and such stuff makes me very anxious about bugs. It's also just something cosmetic ;)

Hi again
Is there a way to get the object(s) below the mouse cursor (or at a certain position x/y) ? I can't seem to find a function... :/
Thanks! :)
