Left Button Events and unstable chart panel ... solution

[llanqui]

There is a fairly large flaw that most traders never encounter, but this might be useful to a few

I have an indicator that allows me to click on a price on a chart and with a modifier key submits an order (based on the ChartTrader parameters) at that price

The problem is the Right mouse button is Ninja Reserved, the Middle (Scroll) button is clumsy, and the Left Button, when on the chart, drags the chart panel

(the Middle button in Scroll mode also "drags" the price panel...unstable)

This can cause, and for me frequently, with just a tiny unintentional mouse movement during the press event, the price panel to move so that the current bar is off the chart. If you trade ticks or small ranges, this is a problem...you can't see the price!!!!

I asked Ninja for a remedy, and that is to allow an option to turn off the Left Mouse drag. So, well it is in the "wish list" but since it doesn't affect many ....well...

(if you notice, when in Draw Mode, the Left Mouse does not drag the panel, so it should only be a few lines of code for them to fix this...)

However, finally I realize there is an easy solution, and that is to use a 5 Button Mouse, and instead of Left Click, use XButton1 or XButton2, which are the fourth and fifth buttons on that style mouse.

there are a multitude of ways to drag or move the price panel left or right

it would not be horrible if Nina simply turned off the Mouse Left panel drag

or, at least gave the user the option
