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.The easiest way is to replace the original file, but please create a backup from the original, just in case if you encounter any problems which I currently could not find.
Recommendations:
Please backup your original WndContainer.mqh file first.
New function: VerifyMouseFocus() — private, called automatically.
Modified: OnEvent() and OnMouseEvent() which are used for any interactions.
