Feature Request: Using GetAppInfo() to retrieve MC alerts and auto-disappear after X sec

Postby rc76 » 22 Nov 2022

Hi Guys,

I have proposed a feature regarding MC alerts messages.

About the error messages generated by MC, i.e.:

Image

Issue:

While we perform auto-trading:
we will not be able to see or track/log the error alert messages that pop up in MC,
there are times of multiple error alerts that will just fill the entire screen, and the earlier error alerts got pushed out of the screen.

Proposed Solution / Feature:

Is it possible to create a GetAppInfo() parameters, that we can:

(1) Retrieve:
the error message contents
we can use [0], [1] to get the latest, previous message contents. (Output = String)
i. GetAppInfo(aiApplicationError)[0]
Also maybe a key to indicate how many “unread” error messages (Output = number)
i. GetAppInfo(aiApplicationErrorUnread)
Using the above method, we can use Print() to output the error messages to txt files on C:\ to be processed/analysed later

(2) Set:
- Set after how many seconds, the yellow error message will disappear (Output = n/a)
- SetAppInfo(aiApplicationErrorDisappear_s) = 5

I have created the feature request here, if you like it, please definitely give it a vote.
