how to display drawing object text in General/Tag property

[xiinteractive]

With a custom add-on based on a DrawingTool.ChartShapeType (Rectangle, Ellipse, etc) or a DrawingTool.Region or other such area based drawing... is there a way to code the add-on to make it automatically display the text placed in the General/Tags property? I'm assuming this would require adding a DrawingTool.Text to the add-on in order to inherit all the properties and controls needed.

I would very much like to see an example of how this would be done in a DrawingTool.Rectangle and a DrawingTool.Region.

Hello xiinteractive,

Thank you for your post.

Could you please elaborate, unfortunately, I'm not clear on what text you are trying to display?

the text placed in the General/Tags property?

Are you trying to obtain the tag of a Region or Rectnagle Drawing Tool? Where exactly are you trying to display this information?

In this case, text that is placed in General/Tag property field... If I wanted to use that text to display on the chart somewhere in or near the display of the drawing object.
Or is there a different field that is better to use if it were added?
Either way, Im sure its doable.

Hello,

There is an existing indicator on the User App Share you could take a look at called Labeled Lines Drawing Tool. You can take a look at this code for an idea of how to automatically display the tag on the chart with the drawing object:

The tool demonstrates to automatically label the lines with price and can optionally add text to the line.
