Is not there a way to use windows system commends calls from with in mql4?
I am trying to find a way that mql4 can take a screen shot and save it to a file.
apparently the
WindowScreenShot("shots\\" +Symbol() + ".gif",640,480);
Is giving me some pain https://www.mql5.com/en/forum/262405
Do I look to make a dll to take a screen shot and use that dll in mql4?
Thanks

No one said that. You have to write a MT4 import.

I am NOT.
the result image is shifted UN expected. That is the problem. I want the output to be the normal "current bar" to the far right side of the window, but what I get is a shifted version.
The problem happens with a custom indicator and the images attached are a simplified example to show case.
thx
