Identify User-Selected Drawing Object

[drmartell]

(I realize this is likely going in to unsupported territory.)

Does anyone know how to identify which drawing object is currently selected?

If there is anything, it should be in the CO object

Hopefully, loop through all objects, and hopefully there is some sort of a 'selected' property to check.

Using the auto fill in when typing should list out what is available. (Sorry, I don't have NT up at the moment to check).

Sorry could you further explain what you mean by the CO object. I know there is no documented 'selected' property.

I'm not sure how far along you are in your research, I've started at the beginning.

In the link to the other thread, there is a bunch of code that describes how to loop through ChartObjects that are in the chart.

Look at NT_RyanM sample indicator he wrote for a complete sample.

       
List<ChartObject> ChartObjectArrayList = new List<ChartObject>();                         

 foreach (ChartObject CO in this.ChartControl.ChartObjects)
   {                 
              if ( CO is NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ILine )    
                  {                         
                       ChartObjectArrayList.Add(CO);
                 }

Hmmm, I can't find the code you referenced in the LineAlert indicator to which you linked. However the snippet you provided might get me somewhere. . .

This will probably only tell if the ChartObject is selectable.

A far cry from selected.

I could only find this:

if (this.ChartControl.ContainsFocus)

This works for the whole chart, but not objects.

I'm not sure it is possible.

Hopefully someone else might have an idea.
