Drawline over Bar

[RedDuke]

Hello,

When I use DrawLine command and my line crosses a bar's body, the line is hidden by the bar body. Is there any way to see it across candle's body?

Thanks

Hello RedDuke,

Use SetZOrder() to set the z order to a higher value. Try setting this to 1.

The Chart Bars by default have a z order of 1.

Will I need to put in in initialization?

Hi RedDuke,

This was my mistake. This code is for NinjaTrader 8.

NinjaTrader 7 does not have zorder support and must be changed manually after the script starts.

1. Select the chart object by left mouse clicking on it
2. Hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and roll the mouse scroll wheel to change the z-order of the object. The current position out of the total number of levels in the z-scale will be displayed.

Below is a link to the help guide on "Navigating a Chart". Please see the section 'How to change the z-order (paint order) of a chart object'.

Thanks, it worked once I scrolled mouse wheel. Is there any way to do it programmatically in Ninja 7?

Hello RedDuke,

Unfortunately no, NinjaTrader 7 does not have zorder support and must be changed manually after the script starts.
