DrawText on top of bars

[edstaffin]

Hi,
I'm trying to do something very simple, but it's proving hard.
I am calling DrawText, but it's drawing the text UNDER some bars instead of on top. How do I force it to draw on top of any bars?
Thanks ... Ed

Hello Ed,

Thanks for writing in.

It is not supported to code what z order the drawing object would be placed however you can review the following forum topic on this subject on this.

Thanks for the response. Where do you put this ZOrder = -1? Just prior to DrawText or in the Initialize method or someplace else. I tried it just prior to my DrawText and it had no effect.
Thanks ... Ed

Hello edstaffin,

Thanks for your reply.

You can review the VolumeZones indicator that comes with NinjaTrader to see an example of this. It is placed under protected override void Initialize()
