BarColorSeries weirdness...

[BigWaveDave]

I searched and could not find any reference to what I'm seeing.

If I set a custom bar color via BarColorSeries[0] in OnBarUpdate, the bar displays in my custom color. No problem.

Later... outside of OnBarUpdate() I attempt to set a bar color using ChartControl.BarColorSeries[nBarIdx].

My logic is fine, the index is valid, however, the bar color does not update. It seems that if the bar color is at any time explicitly overriden in OnBarUpdate... It can't be changed to different color in the future... (at least not from outside OnBarUpdate()).

I must be missing something, no? If I must, I can always just 'overpaint' the bar myself, but I'd prefer not to.

Thx

Is it possible that that StrategyBase.BarColorSeries is a separate object from ChartControl.BarColorSeries? And internal code uses the StrategyBase list if an element is not Color.Empty?

Methinks this is likely. I'm going to try to explicitly use ChartControl.BarColorSeries in my OnBarUpdate to see if this is the case.


And... yes. this is the case and the problem. Interesting that there are so many BarColorSeries laying around.

Anyway... hope this helps others.
