Capture Y value (price) of mouse pointer

[roland_nt]

Is there a way to capture the Y axis value of the mouse pointer (or cross hair) in terms of the instrument price (not screen coordinate) in the way that the chart trader seems to do. My basic goal is to update an internal value of an indicator without having to call up the indicator user GUI panel.
Although calling up the user GUI is a way to do this, for frequent updates to a parameter it is mouse click intensive and error prone process when ther are many parameters.

roland_nt,

Unfortunately this is beyond the scope of what we can offer support for. Perhaps someone from the community could help you or maybe one of the 3rd party NinjaScript Consultants could help you out if you wish to employ their assistance.

Capture Y value work around

In solving a different problem, I discovered that the Y value of a manual chart object is knowable. So if one moves the mouse pointer soewhere and then places an innocuous object, like an arrow or line segment, the occurrence of the object can be detected in real time and its Y value then recovered.
Requires a checking loop through the object collection on every tick to be more or less intereactive.
A possible workaround.
