Well, then we both see it different. I see a question about a picture not showing on the chart, or how to handle the click event to change the picture as two different questions. For that reason, I reased a new topic as I wasnt sure if anyone was looking into my question as it was different (and I didnt got any responses yet). It was not done out of a selfish action, just because I found it different questions and I got no responses (which is very uncommon on this forum).
Yes it is. You are not active on the forum helping anyone. Considering you are a market seller, perhaps pay someone instead of begging for help.
Hi,
I have the following question related to the button click events within the OnChartEvent function.
This is the scenario:
- I have created a panel and a button should show / hide the button.
- The button is an bmpButton, and the image should be different when the panel is shown, and when it is hidden
So this means, each time I click on the button, the other image should be applied to the button.
This is my code:
This is happening with the code provided above:
It loads the button well, and if I press the button the other image will appear (Selected.bmp). However, it will not change back to NotSelected.bmp if I click on the button again. If I press the mouse button, and hold the mouse button, I see the NotSelected.bmp. However, as soon as I release the mouse button I get the Selected.bmp.
What do I do wrong? How should I manage those mouse events?
Thanks for your support in advance.
Kind regards,
Victor
I found the issue. For others that experience the same, hereby the solution:
Put the following into the OnInit() to set the Pressed and the Not Pressed status:
ButtonActiveOrders.BmpOnName("\\Image\\Selected.bmp"); ButtonActiveOrders.BmpOffName("\\Image\\NotSelected.bmp");
In the OnChartEvent function, set the status of the BmpButton:
if(ObjectClick=="ManagedOrders") { if(Dialog2.IsVisible()==true){ Dialog2.Hide(); ButtonActiveOrders.Pressed(False); }else{ Dialog2.Show(); ButtonActiveOrders.Pressed(True); } }
Hope this helps others in future.

Just to clarify, not to start a discussion. I got zero responses to my second question, as the title of the other topic was related to my first question. The second question I had was a different one.
I pay for help / support regularly using the freelance service, but the whole point of the forum is to help each other in case you have just a small question. Sometimes you overlook something.
