Automation Support

Postby davewolfs » 07 Feb 2013

Any plans to add Automation support.

Example. Obtain handle for MultiCharts via other program or powershell script. Instruct MultiCharts to open/close chart and jump to specific position.

I have an external application. I'd like to be able to obtain a handle to Multicharts and perform tasks such as open a chart window. Close a window. Jump to a specific date in a window. Print a window. Etc...

See.

Hello davewolfs,

Currently there are no plans to add Automation support.
You may want to submit a feature request to the Project Management of our web site so other users can vote for it: https://www.multicharts.com/pm/
You can also use any tool for simulating mouse clicks.
