Gordon,
Is there some reason that a ParamTrigger() button would not work for
you?
That is the easiest interface. Chart buttons are not quite as
reliable if you have a slow AFL execution.
I believe Herman has attached code to chart buttons that is closer to
what you want than what I have done. I am assuming you are using IB?

Dennis

Hi Anthony, Herman, and Dennis,
Thank you for your excellent responses.
Anthony, I'm curious -- how did you accomplish what you attached in
the jpg? I wasn't aware of that capability. Also, does the AFL code
behind your button have the ability to access data for the current
symbol? If not, I may need to go with chart buttons.
Dennis, what I'm trying to do is create an order button -- so having
it handy is very important. When I see the conditions I want to see
for an order, I need to calculate some limit values based on price
and indicator values on the immediately prior bar -- the one that
just finished painting. The order isn't part of an automated system
-- there is some visual discretion. An order button that combined
access to the current chart data plus the interface of the broker
would be ideal.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Gordon

Subject: [amibroker] Adding AFL to toolbar button
Hi,
Is anyone aware of a way to attach AFL to a toolbar button in AB?
I'd prefer a new toolbar button, and am willing to use win32 coding
if there's a way to do it.
Barring being able to do this, I seem to recall a post about using
OLE automation to execute blocks of script on demand -- I believe it
involved using commentary or notes -- I am going to search to for
that and if I find what I think I'm looking for, I'll post the link
in this thread.
Regards,
Gordon
