Referencing a different chart CBot?
Referencing a different chart CBot?
23 Oct 2024, 17:09
Hi guys,
Do you know if it's possible to reference another chart's cBot?
Scenario:
I have two charts, both have the same cBot running. The cBot contains Togglebuttons that are either set to on/off.
Is it possible to code an interaction between Chart 1 and Chart 2 whereby if i change the Togglebutton on Chart1, that change is replicated to Chart2?
Or is this possible via a plugin? I'd like to create an on off button that affects all open charts. Or is it possible to reference a plugin object state from within a cBot?
Many Thanks,

I'm not sure about a plugin situation, but you can save the toggle button states to a file, and when the file is updated have your other running cBots read/update their charts based on whatever values you have saved in the file.
Note that this method isn't possible if you're running bots in the cloud as I don't believe bots in the cloud can read/write files.
Keep us posted with the solution you implement.
Thanks firemyst, i did think of the external file solution, but thought there may be a more “built-in” solution. Something similar to the Sync Chart Objects Indicator that allows a change on one, to affect all. I'll keep looking and will update with any solution i find. If anyone does know if you're able to reference plug-ins from within a cBot, i'd be very interested as to how to implement it.
Many Thanks,
