Getting a drawn string object from the chart

[blar58]

Hello

I have drawn strings with RenderTarget.DrawText method on the chart.

If I right click on one of these string objects is it possible to get back the string object to be used on my code ?

If yes, could you give me some guidance how I could do that.
What I would like to do is getting back the string object drawn on a right mouse button click.


Thank you

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

I wanted to clarify, is this a custom drawing tool you are creating or was the RenderTarget.DrawText done from an indicator?

If being used in an indicator, you would need to implement your own logic to determine when the user clicks, where the mouse was in relation to a bar on the chart and what string that is associated with that bars number. Custom drawings are unlike a Drawing tools, drawing tools have a system in place to detect clicks and object changes where a custom rendering does not have any logic associated with it.

Unfortunately I would not be able to make a direct sample of this as it would require quite a bit of logic and would really depend on how your current script works. If you need further assistance and this is an indicator, I could provide further documentation on the methods needed for this.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you. Yes it was a custom drawing tool.

I know where to go from here.
