Enhancing Tooltip and ProgressBar Controls in MQL5

Concept:
The aim is to refine the ToolTip control to function more like MS Visual Studio by introducing smooth appearance and disappearance behaviors. This requires implementing timers for graphical elements, using a list of active objects to track items needing timer processing. This approach supports animated interfaces with interactive visual effects. For this work, a timer event handler will be created for ToolTip and later for ProgressBar control.

Improvements:
1. Adding timer parameters for graphical elements on canvas.
2. Default values for ProgressBar control; adding progress line glare effect similar to Windows.
3. Describing control states and animation sequences for ToolTip.
4. Updated object property lists for enhanced sorting and selection.
5. Improved pointer handling and pause countdown meth...

Developers often need to manage time-specific logic for automated trading systems. This code base provides a straightforward solution to determine if the current time is within a defined time window. The utility requires two input parameters: start time and end time. Integration of this function allows electronic trading algorithms to execute trades only during specified time intervals, ensuring operations occur within designated periods. This implementation is crucial for strategies that rely on temporal conditions, supporting refined control over trading activities based on time-based criteria.
