this file replaces the wndcontainer.mqh original file. one new function and two small modifications prevent the chart from being affected, when you click and hold the mouse inside a container window, i.e. when you press a button which is placed inside a dialogue, move a slider or anything similar. the replacement works also with the cdialog class and should not affect anything in a negative way.
