ZOrder doesn't work

[Bobin]

I have 2 indicators with a custom OnRender, but they are rendered in the wrong ZOrder.

I set the ZOrder like this:

protected override void OnStateChange() {
    // ...
    if (State == State.Historical) {
        SetZOrder(-1);
    }
}​

The other indicator uses SetZOrder(0);

The indicators are drawn in the wrong ZOrder, but when I flip the -1 and 0, nothing changes.
The ZOrder has no effect.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello Bobin,

Thanks for your post.

We are currently researching this inquiry and we will follow up with more information as soon as we are done looking into this inquiry.

Thanks for your patience; I look forward to assisting further.

Hello Bobin,

Thanks for your patience.

Instead of using SetZOrder(-1) and SetZOrder(0) for the indicators, you could use SetZOrder(-1) on one indicator and SetZOrder(1) on the other indicator.

The indicator set to use SetZOrder(1) would be drawn on top of the indicator set to use SetZOrder(-1).

See the attached example scripts demonstrating this. SetZOrderTestIndi1 is set to use SetZOrder(-1) and SetZOrderTestIndi2 is set to use SetZOrder(1). When adding the indicators to a chart window, we can see the SetZOrderTestIndi2 magenta line is being drawn over top of the SetZOrderTestIndi1 blue line.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Hello BrandonH,
thank you very much! It works.
So I guess we can't use 0 or any negative number other than -1.
