MQL Plus Enhanced Error Handler Support - libreria per MetaTrader 5

Change-Log 4.2

• Bugfixes, compatibilitishues resolved.
• Fixed error in UserErrorHandler function signature.

Change-Log 4.0

• Recreated the whole code structure to support shared library compilation as wel las header include compilation
• Supports external CSV-File as supply for mql error codes
• Is MQL4 compatible
• All MQL4 and MQL5 Languages are included
• Supports MQL API function shadowing to be turned on or off

From now on the project is distributed as shared project over MQL cloud storage. You are welcome to contribute to the code.

You will need "MQLplus Include Library Collection" Project. optionally add the "MQLplus Enhanced Error Handler Library" Project to your files to have the shared binary library compiled as well as get an example project, showing the usage of the library.

Change-Log 3.12

• Massive improvements to all aspects of the errror code generation and handling
• Compatibility with MQL4 integrated
• Support for user supplied OnError() function definition, see beginning of lib_error.mql-file
• Overwrite Built-In function SetUserError()
• Translation of error messages to almost all supported languages by MQL

Current Version 3.12

Encapsulates error code and text handling.

Supported features:

• User defined error codes
• Error code groups
• Customizable output string
• Seemless integration

Error code handling and error code resolving to text messages is a pain. This include file will solve some of the daily issues of handling error codes.

Example output:

This output was produced by ObjectGetInteger() in exaple code below.
