Indicator area textblock
Indicator area textblock
11 Mar 2020, 18:59
Hey all,
I've got a simple ADX indicator, where I click on it I'd like to see a textbox appear and write out the values where the mouse is.
I got the mouse_down event and I can call that to draw an icon in the indicatorArea where I clicked but I am struggling to find out how to do that with the textblock.
Many thanks!

protected override void Initialize()
{
lastindex = 0;
IndicatorArea.MouseDown += IndicatorArea_Click;
H4Bars = MarketData.GetBars(customTimeframe);
while (H4Bars.OpenTimes[0] > Bars.OpenTimes[0])
{
var loadedCount = H4Bars.LoadMoreHistory();
Print("Loaded {0} bars", loadedCount);
if (loadedCount == 0)
break;
}
_ADX = Indicators.DirectionalMovementSystem(H4Bars, 14);
}
private void IndicatorArea_Click(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
{
var index_trigger = H4Bars.OpenTimes.GetIndexByTime(obj.TimeValue);
if (index_trigger != -1)
{
var convertIndex_current = Bars.OpenTimes.GetIndexByExactTime(H4Bars.OpenTimes[index_trigger]);
}
IndicatorArea.DrawIcon("test", ChartIconType.Circle, obj.TimeValue, obj.YValue, "yellow");
}

Hi calgodemo,
Here is a starting point
private void IndicatorArea_Click(ChartMouseEventArgs obj)
{
var text1 = new TextBlock
{
BackgroundColor = Color.Red,
Text = "Test",
Width = 30,
Height = 10,
HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left,
VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top
};
text1.Margin = new Thickness(obj.MouseX, obj.MouseY, 0, 0);
IndicatorArea.AddControl(text1);
}
Best Regards,
Panagiotis

Thank you! That did for a start!

Essentially I'd like to replicate what happens in ctrader normally when I hover over an indicator value, with the box and everything nice and neatly. Just with my own values.
