The recent development aimed at enhancing library functionality has targeted improvements in handling both extended and standard graphical objects on the canvas. The objective was to rectify flaws in object interaction, mainly regarding object visibility and interaction order. Implementing the ZOrder property for GUI elements proves pivotal, establishing the correct layering of interactive elements on the chart.

With the ZOrder property now integrated, graphical components can be arranged correctly, ensuring GUI elements remain interactive and prominent. Virtual methods have been refined across object classes to effectively manage ZOrder handling, crucial for event-driven graphical operations.

The development has focused on incorporating methods to determine graphical object boundaries, enhancing interaction precision. Object properties and calc...

A new article addresses the development and management of composite graphical objects. The aim is to create both predefined and custom composite graphical objects, with a focus on managing and updating these objects on charts effectively. Key tasks include implementing and handling CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG for enhanced object manipulation and recalculating coordinates for dependent objects.

Further improvements were made to library classes, specifically refining method names and enhancing the clarity of code logic. Tests confirm the system correctly updates object coordinates upon changes and successfully removes composite graphical objects when base objects are deleted, ensuring cohesive functionality. Future updates will address real-time tracking improvements during object manipulation on charts.
