[ilqar200]

Hello.I am programming some automation via Expert Advisor(program in MQL ) in Metatrader 4 trade software.There is Virtual ListView Control in Metatrader 4 software . I want to read text of Virtual listview control using AutoItX3.dll .I get some functions (GetItemCount and others that is not related to text extract from control) working with this control but i dont understood how to read text from this control.  If it not possible to read text using AutoItX3.dll how to use AutoIt itself in MQL  to read text from virtual listview control ?   Thanks for answers.

I am using AutoItX3.dll in MQL(Metatrader programming language) . So i used this code to try click button :

 

AU3_Init();
AU3_ControlClick("Order","","65535","left",1,312,92);

But after running expert advisor "Order" window is just closing without clicking Buy by Market button. 

I have tried another way . I deselected Use Spy++ Control Detection Logic in Autoit Window Tool and here is summary on Buy by Market button :

After this i used below code in MQL :

AU3_Init();
AU3_ControlClick("Order","Buy by Market","1036","left",1,89,12);

Again after running expert advisor "Order" window is just closing without clicking Buy by Market button.

What i am doing wrong and what i must do to click Buy by Market button on a "Order" window on Metatrader 4 software ?

Thanks for answers.
