Removed DrawingTool object is added to the chart again.

[sidlercom80]

Hi, I have noticed the following behavior: A line is drawn via indicator, if the line is deleted while the properties window of the line is open, the line is drawn again after closing the window. Is this a bug, or how can I prevent this?

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your note.

I am not seeing the line reappear when the line is manually deleted, which is what I would expect since you're not nullifying the line variable. Have you removed the indicator from the chart and readded it after making changes and compiling?

Thanks in advance, I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Kate, yes I have restarted the indicator and compiled, the problem remains. I have also included a bool that does not allow the line to be redrawn or the variable to be referenced.

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm still unable to replicate this on my end. Can you confirm what version of the platform you are currently using? You can find this under Help > About. The current version is 8.0.26.1.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Kate, I am working with the latest version 8.0.26.1.

Have you tested this with my file (RemoveDrawing_Test.zip)?

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I have tested with your script and I am not seeing the line remain after removing it from either just the chart with the delete key or via the drawing tools dialog. As I cannot replicate the behavior, there's not much further I can suggest here, unfortunately, as it appears to be working on my end.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hi Kate, I may not have explained myself clearly enough. The line is automatically deleted by the script when the price is equal to the price of the line, not by hand! Manual removal by hand is no problem, it works.

you would have seen this if you had looked at my code ;-)

if (Close[0] == line.StartAnchor.Price)
{[INDENT]RemoveDrawObject(line.Tag);
line = null;[/INDENT]
  }

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your clarification.

I was able to reproduce this and while I think it may be expected due to the object being cloned to populate the Drawing Tools window, I am sending this over to our QA team to confirm. We're currently tracking this under the number TS-2857. I'll let you know what I hear back from them.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

NinjaTrader_Kate hi Kate, is there any news with "TS-2857"?

Hello sidlercom80,

Thank you for your reply.

It's currently on our QA team's plate, but we haven't gotten any updates from them thus far. We'll let you know when they get back to us.
