Double to String

[nigeleyre]

Hello

I have a double called stopsell which I want to convert to a string and draw on the chart as below:-

DrawTextFixed("LondonSell", String(stopsell), TextPosition.TopRight);

However this wont work, is it possible and if so what is the code?

Thank you.

To change something to a string you would go like this:

stopsell.ToString()

Thank you

Can I also change the color and font size?

Please use the more expanded overload method if you wish to do so.

I'm not sure I'm understang the syntax correctly

DrawTextFixed(string tag, string text, TextPosition textPosition, Color textColor, Font font, Color outlineColor, Color backColor, int opacity)

If I use :-
DrawTextFixed("UsSell", "Sell Stop " + stopsell.ToString() + " @ £" + size.ToString(), TextPosition.TopRight, Color.Red); I get an error No Overload

I would also like to be able to set a font size?

You have to use the WHOLE method, not bits and pieces. You need to fill out every single parameter.

You choose Font size in the Font parameter.
new Font("Arial", 12)
for instance.

This is now my line but it does not like the "Font"

DrawTextFixed("UsSell", "Sell Stop " + stopsell.ToString() + " @ £" + size.ToString(), TextPosition.TopRight, Color.Red, Font("Arial", 12), Color.Red, Color.Transparent, 5);

Tells me that System.Drawing.Font is a type but is used like a variable?

new Font("Arial", 12)
