tabname

[dtl-saw]

Is there a way to resolve the TabName from within a script.
When I try to print it I just get "@INSTRUMENT_FULL"
What I want is the "@INSTRUMENT_FULL" to get resolved to "ES 09-16" which is same as shown on the tab itself.

Thanks

Hello dtl-saw,

Thanks for your post.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do but you can get the instrument full name via: Instrument.FullName

I didn't ask you about instrument names.
What I'm asking you about is "how do I resolve the TabName" in a script.
What I'm trying to do is to write data from different charts in my workspace. What I'd like to do is use the tabname to identify what chart the data came from. So, 1 of my charts might have a unique tabname like "Chart1 @INSTRUMENT_FULL" and another chart might have a unique tabname like "Chart2 @INSTRUMENT_FULL". Both charts have the same script that write specific data pertinent from each chart. I think it would be nice to be able to identify the chart that the data came from by including the chart tabname as part of the file name. To do that I need to be able to resolve the chart tabname as a string in the script.
When I try chartControl.Properties.TabName it resolves to the string "Chart1 @INSTRUMENT_FULL" but what I would like is to get "Chart1 ES 09-16"
Is that possible? If so, how would I resolve it?

Thanks

For your immediate need, cut off @INSTRUMENT_FULL with a string function, and use what NT_Paul suggested.

But it might be a minor bug or something not yet completed if your are getting @INSTRUMENT_FULL.

Hello dtl-saw,

Thanks for your posts.

I have replicated your results and will be investigating further. I will update this thread when I have further information.

Hello dtl-saw,

Thanks for your patience.

Here is an example you can use: Print ("Chart Tab name: "+ ChartControl.ChartTab.ActualTabName);

Hello dtl-saw,

Please post the segment of code you are using along with what section of the code (Onstatechange? OnBarUpdate?)
