Problem with BMP object in Mql4

New comment
 
Hi all, I'm trying to insert a BMP object but even if the object is created correctly and I have no errors in compiling, I don't see it in the chart ( but i see on object list ). I can't find the error, thanks to whoever can help me. The file is 24bit in bmp.

#resource  "\\Images\\test.bmp"

void DashboardLabel() {

  if ( ObjectFind("myRectBack" ) == -1) {
  ObjectCreate(ChartID(),"myRectBack",OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL,0,0,0) ;
  ObjectSetInteger(ChartID(),"myRectBack",OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,7);
  ObjectSetInteger(ChartID(),"myRectBack",OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,20);
  ObjectSetInteger(ChartID(),"myRectBack",OBJPROP_XSIZE,320);

Please don't post randomly in any section. MT4/mql4 has it's own section on the forum.

I have moved your topic to the correct section.

 
  1. Post in the correct place.
  2. #resource  "\\Images\\test.bmp"

  ObjectSet("Logo", OBJPROP_BMPFILE, "::\\Images\\test.bmp");

    #resource "\\Indicators… iCustom("::Indicators…
              Use the publicly released code - MQL5 programming forum (2017)
              Resources - MQL4 Reference

    Be aware that using resources is 40x times slower than using CIs directly.
              A custom indicator as a resource - MQL4 programming forum (2019)

    Also make use there are no spaces in the path.
              Getting error 4802 when loading custom indicator that loads another custom indicator with iCustom - Technical Indicators - MQL5 programming forum. (2020)

Sorry for the mistake in the section, I thought it was the correct one related to trading systems, next time I'll pay more attention.

Thanks so much for your response and the linked resources. Unfortunately, modifying the ObjectSet by removing the slashes didn't change anything, but it was still a mistake to correct.I tried to add a check on the creation of the bmp, and it gives me the error 4201 , so I think it may depend on my image


** SOLVED with this :

  if ( ObjectFind("Logo" ) == -1) {
  ObjectCreate("Logo", OBJ_BITMAP_LABEL,0,0,0);
  if(!ObjectSetString(ChartID(),"Logo", OBJPROP_BMPFILE,"::Images\\test.bmp")) Print("Error creating bmp. Error code: %",GetLastError());
  ObjectSet("Logo", OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
  ObjectSet("Logo", OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 25);
  ObjectSet("Logo", OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 30); 
  }
