UI Automation Api
23 Jan 2019, 13:51


It would be greast if you can exspose and api for all or most of the currently available features in ctrader that can be activated by mouse. This will enable developers and users to create applications that can fully control ctrader..... this includes software automation, AI, Voice Activation, External Controlllers the list goes on.... please do this... There are hacks to do this but it would be much better if you had a simple api for it....

Hi, 

Im not an advanced programmer, but I cannot agree more . there are hacks to do it currently referring to my limited knowledge: AutomationElement / TreeWalker / RawViewWalker, but at every update it needs to be tweaked slightly, and it would hardly be comparable if software supports it natively. I truly think that it would open up many outside functions for developers to expand on, ie changes charts tabs easily. It is barely working now with huge pain. Really hope that if anyhow cTrader team reads this and think about . Only reason for me as a tiny individual user that can think of not implementing this function is security issue as I'm no expert but with UI automation it would add SOOOO much ease and convenience to using the software .

Thank you for reading
