Canceling a chart alert: A new request

Postby arjfca » 12 Dec 2013

Hello

I post a new request to MC about adding the possibility to cancel a chart alert box by a left click on the box.

When an alert is triggered, we don't always want to jump to the chart, we only want to cancel it. My suggestion is, as mentioned, be able to cancel the alert and to not jump to the chart using a left click

That definitely makes sense. I voted for it.

Maybe "right click" to cancel it and "left click" to go to the chart..
Or some macro like "shift", "left click" to cancel it..
I'd still like the option of going to the chart..
Being able to cancel an alert is a great idea..

For sure, I want to keep the function that goes to the chart. A great tool, but sometime, a disruption the work.

I agree. In addition, there should be an option to close all alert boxes at one go.

I understand that as of now, MC uses the Windows OS internal alert boxes, which are not very flexible. Maybe a proprietary solution could be better customized to our specific requirements.

That give me an idea for another need. I'm looking for a way to put upfront a chart using a command shell..... If it is Window who control these alert, then it could be possible to control a workspace to be on top. That is another story

A good weekend to all
