Data Series and String.Compare

[Mindset]

I have an indicator that works fine with one series on the panel but if I put 2 ( int this case MES and ES) then it no longer works.
The toolbar button is fully functional but the properties of the BarsArray is not changing.
I thought if i put a user property MySeries (eg 0 or 1) it might solve the issue but it doesn't.


Here is my code

if( String.Compare(ShowExecState,"EXECUTION MARKERS ONLY") == 0 )
{
ShowExecState = "FULL TEXT EXECUTION MARKERS";

ChartControl.BarsArray[MySeries].Properties.PlotExecutions = ChartExecutionStyle.TextAndMarker;
myItem.Header= "FULL";
myItem.Foreground = Brushes.Red;
ShowTextAndMarker = false;// a bool to ensure it only triggers once per click
}

Edit - If I change my primary DataSeries around it does work?
So my trades are on MES - which this indicator will change ChartExecutionStyle when MES is primary but not when it's secondary?
Is that correct behaviour? Should MySeries not change that?

Hello Mindset,

Thanks for your post.

Are you trying to change the ChartBars that the indicator is attached to or another ChartBars on the chart?

If you are trying to change the ChartBars that the indicator is attached to, I suggest to simply use the indicator's ChartBars property.

this.ChartBars.Properties.PlotExecutions = ChartExecutionStyle.TextAndMarker;

Could you clarify if you are trying to find a different ChartBars?

When I try changing properties of all ChartBars in ChartControl.BarsArray, I do not experience an issue.

foreach (ChartBars chtbrs in ChartControl.BarsArray)
    chtbrs.Properties.PaintPriceMarker = false;

We look forward to assisting.
