Can I detect new text?

[Mindset]

Slightly odd request.
I have a 3rd party indicator which plots some text on the chart occasionally. I would like to know when this happens programatically.. I have no desire to hack the programme.
As I don't have access to the source code and the originator won't provide outputs - is there anyway to detect when text is added to my chart.
I assume every piece of text has a unique tag number possibly.
Anyway would appreciate any thoughts.

Mindset, if you right click on the object can you see which tag id is being used - then you could try accessing the object from the DrawObjects collection - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rawobjects.htm

Count

Ok that might put me on the right path.
How could I compare DrawObjects.Count with a prior value? Would I need to make it it's own data series?

Yes, you would need to store previous count values to be able to compare then later.
