Delete Objects from EA

[Deleted] 2012.04.18 01:47

Hi everyone,

I am using below codes to delete all the objects created by EA.

However, when I remove the EA, there are still some objects remain on the chart

All my object names are created with something like

string name="EA" + XKDLJFLSIJ;

int init()
{
  RemoveEADrawings();
}


int deinit()
{
  RemoveEADrawings();
}

void RemoveEADrawings()
{
        for (int i=0; i<=ObjectsTotal(); i++)
        {       
                string name=ObjectName(i);
                
                if (StringFind(name,"EA")!=-1)  //also tried 
//if (StringFind(name,"EA")>-1)

                        ObjectDelete(name);
                else
                        continue;
        }               
}

I have so many objects with different name so I can not use

StringFind ()

and in my case the object sometime were added or deleted by other CI.

You should re - check the return of

ObjectsTotal ()

in each iteration. I said re - check, then re adjust the i value less or more.

Yes you are asking too much.

Read careful. On object list on MT4 (Ctrl + B) say you have 5 objects named obj_1, obj_2 .... obj_5, the iteration start at i = 0, and delete the top object which obj_1.

Now obj_2 moves on top of the list but now the value of i is 1 and pointed at second on the list which is obj_3. it delete obj_3 but not delete obj_2.

Just open object list and play around, pretend that you are a for loop :).

In your case after deleting object, set i back to -1.

i++ FOR loop behaves Get all objects programatically? **Steinitz** Method Revealed Here
