with & endwith statement for mql5

[antaeusguy]

hi all, is there something in MQL5 that is similar to excel vba macro for this: instead of: Cells.Activate Cells.Copy Cells.PasteSpecial xlPasteValues Cells.Delete to keep the code tidier: With Cells .Activate .Copy .PasteSpecial xlPasteValues .Delete End With in MQL5, how can i make the code tidier like above? MqlTradeRequest myrequest; myrequest.type = ORDER_TYPE_BUY; myrequest.action = TRADE_ACTION_DEAL; myrequest.tp = 0; myrequest.sl = 0; how do i 'group' the myrequest with 'with' and 'endwith' statement like in vba excel? many thanks!

It is extremely difficult trying to decipher your code example when it is all just one continuous line.

Please insert your code samples properly with the CODE button (Alt-S).

Regarding "with ... end with", I don't know of any such equivalent syntax in MQL nor C/C++ on which MQL is based.

I suppose you can implement this yourself, like the foreach loops, which do not exist in MQL5 either: https://www.mql5.com/en/articles/4332
