Draw from AddOn

[r3n3v]

I'm trying to use Draw.TextFixed on an AddOn to try to share it on my scripts.

This doesn't comiple as it mentions the overloaded method has invalid arguments.

System.Windows.Media.Brushes brushes;
ChartControl chartControl = new ChartControl();
Draw.TextFixed(this,"APNL","Trades",TextPosition.BottomLeft,chartControl.Properties.ChartText, chartControl.Properties.LabelFont, Brushes.LightBlue, Brushes.Transparent, 0);

If I remove the Draw Section it will compile.

THanks!

Hello r3n3v,

Only indicators and strategies can call Draw methods and these must be applied to a chart. Unfortunately, addons are not associated with a chart, it's ChartControl, or any data series.

So if I change it to a partial class from an Indicator it should work?

Hello r3n3v,

Yes, a partial class extending the Indicator class would have indicator methods available.

Excellent! Thanks!
