DislikedGo to the Tools > Options dialog in MT4 and go to the Events tab. You will see a field called Alert and the file name associated with it (probably alert.wav). Click the down arrow and select any sound file on the list. You can add to the list by putting any valid sound file in the MT4 sounds folder.Ignored
DislikedIn your alert logic are you calling both PlaySound() and Alert()? My belief is that MT4 can't handle both calls at the same time. The unfortunate thing about using PlaySound() is that you don't get the popup alert that Alert() provides.Ignored
DislikedThat is the situation that I was referring to. I tried it a while ago and tried reversing the order of calls and all I ever got was the "alert" sound. My belief is that MT4 can't handle this situation. You may have also noticed that sometimes no sound is played which leads me to think that MT4's handling of these events is very weak and not reliable.Ignored
DislikedI tried to playsound and even if I have two different playsound, only the last one will be heard. If I have alert(msg), the playsound will not be heard at all, and instead is the usual alert beep and the pop up message.
I would like to have my customised playsound and yet have a pop up msg in case I miss it. Has anyone figured this out?
ThanksIgnored
