IgnoresUserInput

[TheBarChartist]

I've got an indicator drawing a significant number of text objects on my chart and I would like to avoid accidentally clicking on and selecting those text objects.

I can lock those text objects programmatically, but that does not prevent me from selecting them by accident on my chart. I attempted to set the IgnoresUserInput property to true, but the compiler told me that it is a read only property.

The help guide seems to suggest that it can be set.

Hello,

It looks like we may need to clear up the documentation, and I'll make sure that it gets fixed.

There is a bool in the IDrawingTool interface called IgnoresUserInput which is read-only, as you point out. However, there is a public bool property in the DrawingTool class with the same name which can be set, like so:

            HorizontalLine hLine = Draw.HorizontalLine(this, "hello", High[10], Brushes.Blue);

            hLine.IgnoresUserInput = true;

For those that come after, I was trying to achieve the result by doing this:

 Draw.Text(this, CurrentBar.ToString(), true, SWLText, Strength, Low[Strength] - TickSize * 2, LowOffset, SWLBrush, new SimpleFont("Arial", TextSize), TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);                     
DrawObjects[CurrentBar.ToString()].IgnoresUserInput = true;

And was unable to do so. The compiler informed me that IgnoresUserInput was read only.

But when I did this:

Text text = Draw.Text(this, CurrentBar.ToString(), true, SWLText, Strength, Low[Strength] - TickSize * 2, LowOffset, SWLBrush, new SimpleFont("Arial", TextSize), TextAlignment.Center, Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 0);         
text.IgnoresUserInput = true;

On the suggestion of the previous post I got the desired result.

Thank you.
