[MetaQuotes]

New article Optimization management (Part II): Creating key objects and add-on logic has been published:

This article is a continuation of the previous publication related to the creation of a graphical interface for optimization management. The article considers the logic of the add-on. A wrapper for the MetaTrader 5 terminal will be created: it will enable the running of the add-on as a managed process via C#. In addition, operation with configuration files and setup files is considered in this article. The application logic is divided into two parts: the first one describes the methods called after pressing a particular key, while the second part covers optimization launch and management.

This article provides a further description of a convenient GUI creation process intended for managing optimizations in multiple terminals simultaneously. The previous article considered a method of launching a terminal from the console and contained a description of the configuration file. In this we proceed to the creation of a C# wrapper for the terminal, which will enable optimization management as a third-party process. The earlier considered GUI had no logic and could not perform any actions. It could only respond to keystrokes which output text of the pressed key to console (from which it is launched). In this part, a logic will be added, which will process GUI events and will implemented the embedded logic. A number of objects working with files will be created, which will enable the implementation of the logic part of program operation through this object, instead of working with files — this will simplify operation and will make the code more informative. Within this article, the application will finally takes on the form demonstrated in the video.
