So now I find myself either trying to convert my NT8 indicators to NT7 or my NT7 indicators to NT8. I have chosen the later because I prefer the NT8 environment and I have concerns that NT7 will eventually disappear.
So far, I have been able to convert some of the indicators without a issue. However, I am having trouble with a bar and chart style. I am able to successfully compile both, but the plot is not correct and I cant seem to figure out which is the issue. I am suspicious that it has something to do with the AddBar and Update bar functions.
NT7's version of UpdateBar seems to have the bar object, open, high, low, close, time, volume, and a flag for realtime data. NT8's version removes the open and flag. I am not understanding how to pass the open to update the bar. There is no documentation other that from NT8 that shows the parameters. looking at the code of bar types already in NT8 isn't helping me.
Is there any documentation on bar and chart types for NT7 and better documentation for NT8?
Another problem I seem to be having is that the ChartStyle is not appearing on the chart style drop down list under data series properties. So, I have to use DefaultChartStyle = (ChartStyleType) 501; in my bar type to use it. Google searches and searching through these forums hasn't produce any insight on why that's happening.
If you can point me to any available documentation on bar types and chart styles for NT7 and NT* it would be helpful
Thanks
