DrawTextFixed with Position as a parameter

[PedroLucas.net]

Hi,

My NT7 indicator would display a simple clock showing bar time using DrawTextFixed.

I created a blank indicator through the wizard and then implemented the folowing snippets to start.

        #region Properties
        [Category("Parameters")]
		[Gui.Design.DisplayName("Clock Position")]
		public TextPosition pubTextPosition
		{
			get { return parTextPosition; }
			set { parTextPosition = value; }
		}
		

        #endregion

In my OnBarUpdate():

DrawTextFixed("Clock", Time[0].ToLongTimeString(), parTextPosition);

In my Dispose():

RemoveDrawObjects();
or 
RemoveDrawObject("Clock");

Also I tried a number of flags in my Initialize() but am currently using:

ChartOnly			= true;
Overlay				= true;

My problem is that if user changes the position parameter I start getting several simultaneus labels on several corners.

Also I added some Prints and my Outputs show as if the indicator is still running even after I removed it from the chart. The draw objects never disappear.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I wanted to check, you said you are using a dispose method, could you instead try using the OnTermination override for removing the object?

protected override void OnTermination()
{
    // Clean up your resources here
}

Otherwise, I would likely need to see a sample I can compile to see what syntax was used in total. I am unable to see from this why multiple objects would be listed.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Here is the full code.

Hello,

Thank you for providing the file.

I am unable to see several instances appearing when changing the Position property, I wanted to check what are the exact steps you are following to see this happening?

Also, have you removed the indicator from the chart and re added it since adding the OnTermination override?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi,

Ok, it's wierd that you don't see it (as attached). I tried closing chart window, restarting NT7 etc.

I suppose it was something to do with the way it was 'compiled'. Maybe because I started it trough the wizard. Don't think I'll be able to grasp why it was happening.

Anyway, I ported the useful bits of my code into a copy of one of the NT7 standard indicators, and it runs fine now.

Thanks anyway for the triage.
