It is calibrated for 4 charts on a FHD screen. It's for MT5, for MT4 I think handles had to be declared as longs.

Hey thanks for this, I'll have a go amending this for MQL4.

Don't think, read the documentation and be sure:
Returns the chart ID of the chart next to the specified one.
Then write self-documenting codelong ChartNext( long chart_id // Chart ID );ChartNext - Chart Operations - MQL4 Reference
#define CHART_ID long #define CHART_INVALID (CHART_ID) -1

Hi,
I'm writing a script to setup a workspace. From the main toolbar, if you select "Window" you get a dropdown list. I can't find the functions that perform these actions. Do they exist?
Also is there any code to minimise and maximise a chart window?
Thanks.
