Is it possible to retrieve the BarColor of a past Bar?

[pippero]

Hello, I am developing an indicator according to a customer's specs, and I need to find out the BarColor of a past bar. Is this possible?

If not, I suppose I will have to store a code that identifies the color in a DataSeries that I can later access.. how would I do this?

Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.

Currently this is not supported. You could use the StringSeries class and store the RGB value per bar?

try this

if (BarColor[1] == Color.Brown)

then bla bla bla

That will not work since BarColor is not a series.

can but you need to do a lot of command

if ((BarColor[1] == Color.Brown) && (BarColor[2] == Color.Brown))

1 & 2 is pass bar

other option is

if (ChartControl.BarColorSeries[CurrentBar - 1] == Color.Blue)

[CurrentBar - 1] = pass bar

Define your own dataseries to record the barcolors then you can retrieve any barcolor you want. So, in your code where you set the barcolor, also set your color dataseries with a value that represents that color.
