access name of an indicator to print on chart

[td_910]

Hi,

Can I access the name of an indicator to print it from that indicator somewhere on the chart?

Thanks

Hi Thomas, sure you could for example just use this.Name to access the script name and then for example show via DrawTextFixed in the chart.

Hi Bertrand,

Many thanks for that, but the problem is, that I've deleted all label names to have a clean chart.
So, nothing showing up .
Is there another way?

Thanks

Thomas

        protected override void OnStartUp()
            {if (!showLast200) DrawTextFixed("showLast200", this.Name + " showLast200 off", TextPosition.TopLeft);}

Wouldn't it be easier then to custom format the label via an overriden ToString()?

You could also supply your custom string text of course to use in the DrawTextFixed.
