Hi Herman,
I don’t know what I am doing wrong, I have been messing with this for 4 .5 hours straight and I still can’t get it to work. Bear with me, this is the only way I can think of explaining what I am doing. Starting with the code in the UKB “A Basic Messaging Panel” there is an include file MessagePanelInclude.afl which I copied to my include folder in Amibroker . Then there are 2 files, the first one has only 25 columns and produces the 2 column message panel, the long one has 84 columns and creates the multi-panel layouts. So I open up the formula editor and copy and paste the 84 column file and hit “apply” in the editor and I see the text cells in chart pane.. I see the picture as shown in the UKB so far so good. I also read that the cells are not mouse-click sensitive so I don’t expect anything to happen when I click on them. Everything fine so far. Next I copy the code in the UKB “Command Buttons (Trigger type) ControlPanelInclude-001.afl that also goes in my include file. Then I copy and paste the 50 column (whose first line is #include <ControlPanelInclude-001.afl>) and add it to the bottom of the 84 column AFL file in the chart pane. That where I get errors. Oh I get a headache just trying to explain it. So to make this simple, forgetting the fact that I shouldn’t be allowed within a 10 feet of a computer, what files go where. Do all the include files go only to the include folder in Amibroker? Or do they also go somewhere else? Do all of the files that reference the include files get added from oldest to newest in one long file that then gets applied from the formula editor into a chart pane. Speaking of pain, I am at my wits end with this. My kingdom for a “AFL for Dummies book.” Come on Howard, hurry, the fate of the free world rests in your hands. I have printed out all of the files onto paper and will take a look to see if I can see if anything jumps out at me. I am a carpenter by trade and until I get a button to do something , anything, I am totally lost. Once I get a response from a button then I can hammer, pry, saw, shave, grind, putty and glue it back together and start figuring it out. Sorry for all of the extra yakking, just getting a little giddy with all the fun I am having. Thanks, Bruce Is this what I am supposed to do?
