Hi,

Is there any good reference to learn to add event handlers in WL5?

It seems that there are some technique to learn to add event handlers in overriding functions, because I can't use my workable code with event handlers directly from C# to WL5.

There is no such reference as far I know, perhaps because the developers didn't consider it to be a use case. A WealthScript program is executed once every bar (the Execute method) in WL4 and WL5 alike.

... better to say:
"In a streaming chart, a WealthScript program is executed each time a new bar is added to the chart (at the end of the Bar interval)."

And again, Aleksey is to demonstrate the creation of events in a WL5 strategy:
CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

However I'm at a loss how can this be used for practical purposes for the aforementioned reason.

If that's not a secret, just curious what you're after with the events in WealthScript code?

Is there information how to intercept WealthLab's form events, e.g. FormClosing event when my strategy chart window is closing?

Even if you were able to get your hands on the list of open charts through the Application.OpenForms property, it won't help you, because a Wealth-Lab strategy is executed (or public void Execute(), to be precise) only when a complete bar updates (can be 1-minute, 1-day, etc.).
