Get instruments loaded on chart

[pjsmith]

Hello,

I thought this would be simple, but in trying, cannot see a way to do it.

if I add an indicator to a chart, how can I find the instruments loaded on that chart, be it 1, 2, or many? I thought it would just be a case for foreach (Instrument I in Instruments), but that only seems to give me the main instrument and anything added within the indicator itself, by adddataseries.

Any way to do it?

Thanks.

Hello pjsmith,

Thanks for your inquiry.

This can be found in ChartControl.BarsArray.

protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
{
    // Instantiate a new <ChartControl>.BarsArray collection
    System.Collections.ObjectModel.ObservableCollection<ChartBars> myChartBars = chartControl.BarsArray;

    // Print the number of bars in each Bars object within the <ChartControl>.BarsArray collection
    foreach(ChartBars bars in myChartBars)
    {
        Print(bars.Bars.Instrument.FullName);
    }
}
