IDrawObject ChartAnchor question.

[marty087]

Probably a really simple one here...

I have drawn a line and unlocked it allowing the user to drag it to wherever they chose

IDrawingTool myLine;
myLine = Draw.VerticalLine(this,"TheLine",5,Brushes.Black);//.IsLocked = false;
myLine.IsLocked = false;

Now I want to read the Time based location of that line.

Based on the NT8 help guide the time value should be stores in <ChartAnchor>.Time

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/

Not being a professional coder I dont understand why ChartAnchor is shown int <>'s

I would have thought the code should look like this, but i am obviously wrong.

Print ("my Line anchor time = "+myLine.ChartAnchor.Time);

The Help Guide also shows this example which would suffice
Print(myText.Anchor.DrawnOnBar);

although, the "Anchor" property doesnt exist when typing "myLine....." on the "Anchors" property which has no reference to Bars or Time in it.

Hello marty087,

Thank you for your note.

You can loop through the anchors to find the time. Below is an example you could place directly below your code:

			if (myLine == null)
				return;
			
			foreach (ChartAnchor anchor in myLine.Anchors)
			{
				Print(anchor.Time);
			}
