DrawObject order in menu

[Bobin]

How to set the order of custom DrawObjects in the context menu? I mean the menu which you open by right clicking on a chart and go to "Drawing Tools".

Hello Bobin,

Thanks for your post.

So I may accurately assist, please answer the following questions.

Are you asking how to specify the order of a custom DrawingTool in the Right-click > Drawing Tools menu? See screenshot 1.

Or, are you asking how to specify the order of custom Drawing Objects in the Right-click > Drawing Tools > Drawing Objects window? See screenshot 2.

If you are referring to Drawing Objects listed on the Right-click > Drawing Tools > Drawing Objects window, these drawing objects will appear in the order that they are drawn on the chart.

I look forward to assisting further.

Hello Brandon,
I'm asking for the first screenshot - "how to specify the order of a custom DrawingTool in the Right-click > Drawing Tools menu".
Thank you very much for your help!

I think the way the order of a drawing object is set on a chart by selecting said object, holding SHIFT+(scroll)Mouse wheel to displace the current object to a new ZOrder.
let me know if that answers your questions.

Hello Bobin,

Thanks for your clarification.

There is no documentation or supported means for setting the order of custom DrawingTools to the DrawingTools menu.

It is likely that the DrawingTools will be added to the menu in the order the script load, which is likely alphabetic by class.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
