Avoid adding new column to the grid for the 2nd instance

[asmmbillah]

Hi,
I am adding a column and a row for my indicator at the left margin of the chart where my indicator is added, but when I am adding 2nd instance of the indicator to the same chart, it is adding another column after the previous column which was added by the 1st instance of the same indicator. Is there a way to check or avoid not to add column where as a column added to the grid by 1st instance of the same indicator?

Hello asmmbillah,

You can use the automation ID system to set ID's to your custom controls, that is the system used to find controls like ChartTrader by using FindFirst or GetAutomationId(). You can see a sample of setting/getting an automation id in the following post:

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
