data box

[pman777]

hi, is there a way i can query the data box?

Hello pman777,
Unfortunately there are no supported way of doing it.

If you want to get the indicator values, you can loop through the Indicator array using the unsupported ChartControl class

ChartControl.Indicators

[pman777]

that may work for what I'm trying to accomplish. Is there any documentation or examples you can direct me to regarding this class?

Hello pman777,
The ChartControl class is not supported and thus not documented.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

Thanks Dave ... I have an old indicator that I use but I dont have access to its code ... it's basically a custom moving average. I want to access it's value and build a range band around it. Was wondering if I could achieve this by accessing it's value via the data box or ChartControl, but not sure how to do that.

Ah, ok. Yeah, I don't know how that could be done... You could poke around in that Indicator list described earlier to see if there are some plot members in there that you could peek at. That's about the only idea I have, assuming that the indicator doesn't publicly expose it's calculated values...

Does that indicator have only one Plot?
