more...In this article, we build upon the previous work in Part 4 of the MetaQuotes Language 5 (MQL5) series where we added real-time updates to the MQL5 Economic Calendar dashboard. Here, our focus is on making the dashboard more interactive by adding buttons that allow us to directly control the currency pair filters, importance levels, and time range filters, all from the panel itself—without needing to change the settings in the code. We will also include a "Cancel" button that clears the selected filters and removes the dashboard components, giving us full control over the display. Finally, we will enhance the user experience by making the buttons responsive to clicks, ensuring that they function smoothly and provide immediate feedback.
