Grabbing information from a tool that has been drawn on chart...

[funk101]

Is there anyway to get information on e.g.: a rectangle that has been drawn on the chart using one of the NT Drawing Tools? I understand how to draw a rectangle using C# and overriding Plot(), however, I was hoping to use the existing Rectangle drawing tool in the NT tools menu and just grabbing the information from that. Do-able? I send my request out to fellow C# programmers as I will assume this is *unsupported*. And please, technical responses only

Hello,

Yes this is possible if I'm understanding your question correctly and we have an example of doing this with other drawing objects here: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...tid=-1&lpage=1

Let me know if I can further assist.

Thank you, I will look into it. I think what I may be looking for I figured out:

foreach (object c in ChartControl.ChartObjects)
{
Print(c.ToString());
}

Yeah, that's the ticket. Thanks
