Click on drawable -> scroll chart

[Halmix]

Hi,

My indicator draws lines and rectangles on the chart. Now I want to catch the click on a line or rectangle (the actual position does not matter, only the fact that the click occurred on the item) and scroll the chart to some time in the past.

In short, the steps are:

1. User clicks on a line or rectangle drawn by my indicator.
2. The chart jumps back to a given time in the past.

Is this possible and how? How can I catch a click on a drawable? How can I programmatically scroll the chart?

Regards,

Hello Halmix,

As far as clicking on a object, you will likely need to capture the mouse position and calculate if this is within the x and y of each border of the rendered object.

It would not be possible to scroll the chart with code. (Including changing the time scale or range and price scale or range)

Thanks for your reply. Scrolling support would be really useful for a future update.
