Update bar color dynamically

[bkinvent]

Does the 'TransformBrush' check for brush overrides at the indicator level? If I'm writing candlestyle code that wishes to 'fix' or change the color of the candles dynamically via a volume parameter, would the following be the right way of going about it?

SharpDX.Color cb;
cb = new ColorBGRA(0, 255, 0, 255);.
SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush cbrush = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush(RenderTarget, cb);

Do you have a better suggestion? By which other means can I update a bar's color dynamically based on some other parameter?

Hello bkinvent,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums.

Are you wanting to do this in OnRender() or do you prefer to do this in OnBarUpdate()?

Is it possible for you to comment on both? What's the difference between changing color in OnRender() and OnBarUpdate? Is it possible to use OnBarUpdate() for a custom Chartstyle? Similarly, for a custom indicator, what benefits is there for one to make use of OnRender()? Is it possible to incorporate an indicator within a custom ChartStyle?

Sorry, I guess I'm new, but that should've been obvious. Thank you for your reminder!
