DrawText Carriage Return ?

mrlogik · 01-13-2009, 06:44 AM

Hey Guys,

I want to display some text on the chart in a few lines.

For example, suppose at the top right of the chart I want to say in this format:

"1. Good Spread"
"2. Good Resistance Distance"
"3. Etc...."

Basically, I want to print lines of text below one another in a list format. I tried using the C# Carriage Return code to simple make a new line, but that didn't work.

Any way to do it otherwise?

Thanks

You can use the NT DrawText() or DrawTextFixed() and then in the string you can just add \n for a new line.
