DrawText Coding Error -- please help!

[lovemyipad]

Can anyone please tell me how to fix this code:

// draw retracement retracement text
				DrawText(this._strWave2RetracementLinesTag + "RLBL" + index.ToString(), 
					false, 
					String.Format("{0:F2}", this._doubleRetracementLevels[index] * 100) + "%", 
					intEndBarVL + 4, 
					doubleY + this._doublePointOffset / 5, 
					this._colorRetracementText[index], 
					new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, this._intRetracementFontSize[index], this._fsRetracementText, GraphicsUnit.Pixel), 
					StringAlignment.Center,
					Color.Transparent,
					Color.Transparent,
					0);

The error message says:

No overload for method 'Draw Text' takes 11 arguments

Hello lovemyipad,

Thank you for your post.

You are missing a overload for the DrawText() method which can be referenced from the link below -

Hi, thanks so much, but I must confess you're giving me way too much credit! I have already read everything in the help manual, including the site you reference. I don't write code, so I don't know how to make/identify an overload, or where to put it. (I was so impressed with myself that I could even figure out how to find the problem in the code using F5!)

This is an indicator that was written for an outdated version of Ninja Trader, and I would like to update it so it works with my version 7. But I know nothing about coding. I just push all the buttons until it works, or I break it.

Is there any coder out there who can please, PLEASE help me???

lovemyipad,

Can you possible share the indicator here so that I can review this on my end and get the correct format set for you?

You can attach the indicator by clicking Reply -> Go Advanced -> Paperclip icon on the toolbar.

The indicator will be located in (My) Documents -> NinjaTrader 7 -> bin -> Custom -> Indicator

Hello lovemyipad,

Thank you for your response.

The DrawText() was missing the y pixelOffset, please add the '0,' to the three DrawText methods as seen below:

			DrawText(wavehelper.******Tag, 
				false, // autoscale
				wavehelper.******Name, // text
				this.CurrentBar - wavehelper.******Bar, // bars ago
				(this.WaveType == ******Type.UpWave ? wavehelper.******Low - this._doublePointOffset : wavehelper.******High + this._doublePointOffset), 
				[B]0,[/B]
				this._colorWaveText[wavehelper.TDIndex], 
				new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, this._intWaveTextFontSize[wavehelper.TDIndex], this._fsWaveText[wavehelper.TDIndex], GraphicsUnit.Pixel), 
				StringAlignment.Center,
				Color.Transparent,
				Color.Transparent,
				0);
