define a transparent Color from script

[doron]

Hi

I develop indicator in NT8 B13

I use SharpDx methods for display

The logic of the indicator (inside onrender) Is such that sometimes I want to draw a text on the screen and later I want to draw a rectangle with non-transparent fill color

This rectangle hide the text

I want to make the rectangle fill color transparent (from inside the script) so that it will be easy to see the text

How can I do it ?

Hello doron,

Thank you for your post.

You should be able to define the color as you have for any other items. Review the CustomPlotSample under New > NinjaScript Editor > Indicators, if you are still having trouble.

I can not find the sample you refer to.


This how I define a color

public System.Windows.Media.Brush VWapColorUp1 - = Brushes.Blue;

this is how I convert it in order to use it with sharpdx methods

public SharpDX.Direct2D1.Brush VWAPBrushUp1 = VWapColorUp1.ToDxBrush(RenderTarget);

how do i make this color transparent ?
