Yes Dave, please write up this request. To clarify, the ability to programatically select the tab (to make visible) belonging to the chart running the indicator. This would be a nice feature for many more applications other that just screenshotting, e.g as an alert style for the trader etc.
Although i am not an experienced developer, I really thought it should be possible to render the chart to a memory stream even though it is not visible. As you said the information is there, should it not just be a case of re-diverting the rendering to a steam as opposed to the screen?
If i open each chart up in an individual window your script is able to render the chart image to a memory stream even though it it may be overlapped by another chart/window. So the process here is not taking a screenshot as much as it is copying the render that exists in the window. The only difference here is we want to do this with a tab in a window rather that just a window itself.
Just thinking out loud now. Hopefully we can get a solution here!
I look forward to hearing more about this. Cheers.
