Issue with Draw.Text

[Omega]

I am having an issue with Draw.Text() with NT8. The code using DrawText() in NT7 is working properly. The brush color always prints the same regardless of which string is printed.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
SimpleFont textFontTV = new Gui.Tools.SimpleFont( "Arial", 18 ) { Bold = true }; // Tick Volume Label Font
SolidColorBrush BrushTickAsk = Brushes.LightSalmon;
SolidColorBrush BrushTickBid = Brushes.LightGreen;

if( Close[ 0 ] >= GetCurrentAsk() )
Draw.Text( this, "tagBidAskVol", true, GetCurrentBidVolume().ToString() + " / >" + GetCurrentAskVolume().ToString(), -2, Close[ 0 ], 0, BrushTickAsk, textFontTV, TextAlignment.Left, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0 );
else
Draw.Text( this, "tagBidAskVol", true, GetCurrentBidVolume().ToString() + "< / " + GetCurrentAskVolume().ToString(), -2, Close[ 0 ], 0, BrushTickBid, textFontTV, TextAlignment.Left, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0 );
}

Thanks.

Hello Omega,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums.

I was able to replicate the issue. I reduced the code down to:

if( Close[ 0 ] == GetCurrentAsk() )
			{

				Draw.Text (this, "test","Testing", 0,Low[0]-10*TickSize,Brushes.LightSalmon);
			}
			else
			{
				//RemoveDrawObject ("test");
				Draw.Text (this, "test","Untesting", 0,Low[0]-10*TickSize,Brushes.LightGreen);
			}

As you can see I also tried removing the draw text object just to test and found that to cause the 2nd draw.text never to print.

I have entered a bug report on the issue.

Thanks for reporting the issue and for your participation in the beta test program.
