Change ITrendChannel line color

[foxthorn]

Looks like draw objects like IRay have a .Pen property to allow adjusting the draw color.
But with ITrendChannel there appears to be no access to the pen.

Is there some other way I can programmatically adjust a TrendChannel line color?

Hello foxthorn,

Unfortunately, setting it programmatically would not be supported, but one way around it that you can do is set a Default Template for the TrendChannel inside of the chart so that way when your indicator draws the TrendChannel the Default Template would be applied to it.

To save a default Template for the TrendChannel would be to draw one a chart, double left click on the object to open up the Properties window, set the changes you would like to see, right click in the Trend Channel Properties window, select Manage Templates, select Default, and press Save.

Let us know if we can be of further assistance.

The reason I wanted to change the color was to be able to hide some by setting the color to transparent. Is there an alternative way to hide and unhide the draw objects?

Hello foxthorn,

If you are going to be via code you may want to use the RemoveDrawObject() and then Draw it back based upon the conditions that you want it hidden and unhidden.
