Inputs Tab Disappear

try this #property show_inputs;

added #property show_inputs, but the inputs tab still not show.

//---- input parameters

#property show_inputs

extern bool Flag=true;

Add some new extern parameter and check result

added fews more, the result still the same.

//---- input parameters

#property show_inputs

extern int Test1=1;

extern bool Flag=true;

extern bool Flag2=true;

remove #property library from your include file

after removed the #property library, i get warnings during compilation. however it solved the problem. many thanks.

i.e. Function "IsInsideBar" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file.

what this warning mean & #property library is for what purpose?

https://docs.mql4.com/index

Library is a set of custom functions containing programs most frequently used. Libraries cannot start execution by itself.
Libraries are recommended to be stored in terminal_directory\experts\libraries.

Hi

I have a similar problem, where I see no input tab in the properties window at all in my EA. Example EAs that were supplied with MetaTrader do show inputs in the properties window, but not mine. Here is the header part of my EA. I've tried adding the line #property show_inputs, but it had no apparent effect. I suspect I've missed something simple. I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks

I was also having a problem but I realised I was making a mistake in how I structured my code. I was putting all my function code into the include file and had the #property library at the top. Funnily enough it still worked fine until I wanted to access the inputs tab of the EA. What I did was to create two separate files - an Include file and a Library file. Similiar to this:

Include file in "Include" folder:- My_Tools.mq4

#property copyright

#property link

#import "My_Tools.ex4" //this line is required to reference library file

double Position_Size_Calc(double Stop_Loss_Price, int Stop_Loss_Pips, int Risk_Percent);
double Split_Amount(double Order_Lots,int Split_Percent);

.

.

Library file in "Library" folder:- My_Tools.ex4

#property copyright

#property link
#property library //this line is necessary to prevent MT4 from "thinking" it's a normal EA/indicator/script file. Without this you'll get "Function "X/Y" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file"

// errors.

double Position_Size_Calc(double Stop_Loss_Price, int Stop_Loss_Pips, int Risk_Percent)
{

// CODE CODE CODE

// CODE CODE CODE


return (Lots);
}

double Split_Amount(double Order_Lots,int Split_Percent)
{

// CODE CODE CODE

// CODE CODE CODE

return (Split_Lots);
}
