Please Help! Can someone help me! How to move Text Label. - page 2

Please calm down. You have to deal with how others can interpret your writings. And it's available to everyone. The message you highlighted from deVries is more than 1 year ago, and I am not even moderator at this time.

No worries man. I've got your other post tonight and hope you can make the change you promissed. Good luck and I'll do my best as well.

Cheers.

You are welcome.

Improve on it !!??

I doubt that, I will have to understand it first :D

Thanks for posting your code, it is good to see examples of this new fangled MT4 code.

I had very little experience of coding before learning mql4. Many years ago, I did some coding in Basic on a ZX Spectrum.

I am relieved that so much of the old code still works, but without a "Book" that helps with learning all the new stuff, it is very difficult to understand all the new stuff.

We need a "Coding build 600+ for Dummies", perhaps you could write it ? :)

Go read that whole topic and tell me what it is I'm doing wrong ....

did i say or wrote " you'll never get it done so pay up ".

leave the words in its contest they were written

no he asked me for the program i made to get it for free

it was not my intention to sell it

it was my intention helping him making that program on its own

if people want others programming their programs then they can go to Jobs

(and ofcours now they also can wait for the moment thrdel is making it for them )

Ok, thank you for this development.
