How to update user Object by script without changing its owner

[doron]

Hi
I have a script working in NT8
In the script I "catch" horizontal line created by end user.
I want that the script will assign the horizontal line a template
The only way I found to do this is by using the command
Draw.HorizontalLine(this,Tag,MyHL.StartAnchor.Price,true,"LVN") ;
While LVN is the template name.
Any other way to assign template to object ?
Anyhow, I want that the owner of the horizontal line remain the user and not the script
how this is done ?

Hello Doron,

Thank you for your patience.

I was unsuccessful in finding a means to perform these items. I am checking with development.

There would not be a way to access the template or assign one to the object.

You can set the y value using the ChartAnchor.Price as seen at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rawingtool.htm

You should be able to do this without re-submitting the object and thus keeping the chart as the owner.

That's a bummer! as I was hoping access to both get and assign templates to manually drawn objects would now be possible in NT8 (unlike 7)..

I haven't got that far yet, but I would like to be able to provide various fib templates with my indy, and then thru some simple clicks allow the user to switch back and forth between those templates.. (This particular instance would be for manually drawn fibs/objects)..

If this is not currently possible.. please add that request and my vote to it..

We have collected a number of votes on a tracked suggestion to add new method overloads for drawing tools which would allow you to specify a template to apply. I've added your vote to SFT-142.
