Hi all, the above codes works ,,, and it flip the open charts every x seconds, 

the only problem is ,, if i start working on Chrome (for example),,, the focus is shifted to chrome, and MT5 is not in focus any more and flipping action stops. 

any good solution ? 


regards

 

Is this perhaps what you are looking for?

ChartSetInteger() with CHART_BRING_TO_TOP

CHART_BRING_TO_TOP

Show chart on top of other charts

bool  

 

with this, now both move, the mt5 charts and chrome tabs

! 

help

Sameer #: with this, now both move, the mt5 charts and chrome tabs! help 

Then why are you still using the "keybd_event" DLL call?

Use only the "CHART_BRING_TO_TOP".

 
Thanks a lot. got it.
