drawing tool color

[saturntd]

Hello Gaby,
I have a related question.
I have a vendor indicator that created their own drawing tool type.
I would like to get as much info as I can about the object. Especially the color.
I can access the tag.
How can I find the color?

Hello saturntd,

Thank you for your post.

I have moved your post into it's own thread since it was unrelated to the previous thread.

If you need a specific property from a specific type of object you would need to cast to that object in your script and then you could access the specific property, such as the TextBrush property of a Text drawing object by using something like myDrawText.TextBrush.

For example, if the drawing object was a Text object:

foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects.ToList())
{
if (draw is DrawingTools.Text)
{
DrawingTools.Text myDrawText = draw as DrawingTools.Text;

Print("Text object: " + myDrawText.Tag + " TextBrush: " + myDrawText.TextBrush);
}
}

If the script is creating their own custom drawing object, you would need to know what kind type of drawing object they have created so you could cast to that object in the script.

See the 'Looping through the collection to find specific draw objects' section of this help guide page for more sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rawobjects.htm

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
