hi, within my indicator, I need to identity all manually drawn horizontal line objects drawn on my chart ... specifically the price level they are drawn at and the color of the line. Can you provide me some direction on this. thank you

Hello,
For User Drawn Objects you could use the code below to find all user drawn horizontal lines and print out the value the user drawn horizontal line is drawn at and the color of the horizontal line.

foreach(IDrawObject draw in DrawObjects)
{
if(draw.UserDrawn)
{Print(draw.DrawType.ToString());//you can get the tag of the object to help narrow down results
if(draw.DrawType == DrawType.HorizontalLine)//if the object type is a horizontal line do this
{
IHorizontalLine horizontalLine = draw as IHorizontalLine; //neeed to re define the IDrawingObjects as a Horizontal line to access corect values
Print(horizontalLine.ToString() + horizontalLine.Pen.Color);
}
}
}

For more information on IDrawObject please see the following link, http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...drawobject.htm

thank you ... very helpful. Is there a way I can extract just the price and the color ... for example

56.21, Magenta

Hello,
You can print out the value and color by changing the print command to the one below.
Print(horizontalLine.Y.ToString() + " "+ horizontalLine.Pen.Color);

If we can be of any other assistance please let me know.

One more request ... is there a way to print the "horizontalLine.Y.ToString()" without a comma?

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
Can you clarify where you are seeing the comma?
If you are seeing this as where the decimal place is you could use the following to have the value print without any decimal places.
Print(horizontalLine.Y.ToString("#") + " "+ horizontalLine.Pen.Color);

This will print out just the integer value of the Y value. If you wanted to print out with decimals up to a certain point, say up to two decimal places for example, you would format it as ToString("##.##");
