I am trying to get buttons working in Backtester MT5. I want to know if there's any way to get mouse events(Clicks and coordinates) outside of OnChartEvents as its not called in BackTester. Thank You.

    Mouse clicks (events) do no work in the tester.

    See In backtest OnTimer() not performs - MQL4 programming forum #3 (2014)
    and work around Chart Event For MT4 Backtester - Strategy Tester - MQL4 programming forum #7 (2016)

In the previous articles, we started creating a large cross-platform library simplifying the development of programs for MetaTrader 5 and MetaTrader 4 platforms. We already have collections of historical orders and deals, market orders and positions, as well as the class for convenient selection and sorting of orders. In this part, we will continue the development of the base object and teach the Engine Library to track trading events on the account.
