Convert int to string

[fiddy]

I would to replace the text "LL" with an integer that is referenced by the label TrendIndex.

How do you convert the integer to text?

DrawText(LatestLow + 3.ToString() , true, "LL", CurrentBar - LowBarNumber, LatestLow, 10, Color.Red,
candlefont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);

Hello fiddy,

Thank you for your post.

You would use int.ToString(), for example:

DrawText(LatestLow + 3.ToString() , true, [B]myInt.ToString()[/B], CurrentBar - LowBarNumber, LatestLow, 10, Color.Red,
candlefont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);

For information on ToString() please visit the following link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...v=vs.110).aspx

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Fiddy,

You will need to add + CurrentBar to the tag name of the DrawText()
DrawText(LatestLow + 3.ToString() + CurrentBar, true, myInt.ToString(), CurrentBar - LowBarNumber, LatestLow, 10, Color.Red,
candlefont, StringAlignment.Center, Color.Empty, Color.Empty, 0);
