Does DrawText auto-trim a string?

[marketmasher]

I have a line DrawText("Test"+ CurrentBar, "Hello" + " ", 0, Close[0], Color.Black, textFont, StringAlignment.Far, Color.Transparent,Color.White,10); The added padding of spaces to shift the text slightly to the left is eliminated when displayed. I tried to use .PadRight(8, ' ') and it seems to ignore it also. Is there a way to get the text shifted slightly over to the left with spaces?

marketmasher,

White spaces are ignored. Try using a non-whitespace character.

Some examples of non-whitespace characters?

.,;'[]\/12345asdf. Anything that does not produce a blank space. If you want a blank space unfortunately that is beyond the level of support we can offer. You will have to dive into C# to see if there are any string manipulations you can use to mimic the effect.

Unfortunately your non-whitespace characters also will print that character, thus defeating the purpose.

That's precisely the point. This is not supported and if you want to move it you will need to look around for C# resources.
