Screenshot in the original chart size – script MetaTrader 4
by
If you would like to take a screenshot of a script/EA/indicator you have to specify the chart size, because the MT4 can’t detect it.
This script:
calls the user32.dll to determine the chart’s size
places labels in the top left and bottom left corners, that show the instrument’s name and the timeframe
calls the kernel32.dll that’s why the script is able to save the image to a user defined folder outside the MQL4 folder with a file name which containings: the user defined prefix, instrument’s name, timeframe, and a timestamp when the screenshot was taken (e.g. Screen_USDCHF_M15_17-13-20.gif)
Some settings can be changed with external variables.
If you uncomment the “//#property show_inputs” line, you can change settings every time you run the script.
