Crosshair and Chart Text Colours

[Mindset]

Hi
I am trying to change the crosshair color,Chartbackground,Axis Color and ChartText but am failing on 2 of them
I was following the lead on this example.

However I get different behaviours
1.ChartBackground and Axis pen brush work fine
2. Chart Text changes but then instantly reverts back to it's original color - so something else is taking over in on render I guess?
3.Crosshair color - I can't get to change at all! It simply makes the crosshair disappear.

Edit
if I put the ChartText change in ONrender it works fine. But this seems awfully inefficient?
Still no joy on the Crosshair color.

here is the code snippet that I am using in OnBarUpdate

    if(State == State.Realtime)
                    {

                    ChartControl.Properties.ChartBackground = myBrushUp;
                    ChartControl.Properties.AxisPen.Brush = TrendColor;
                    ChartControl.Properties.ChartText = TrendColor;//flips color but doesn't sustain
                    ChartControl.Properties.CrosshairPen = "Red";//TrendColor;// crosshair disappears
​
                    }​

Hello Mindset,

Please consider the note from the help guide:
"Warning: These are UI properties which are designed to be set by a user. Attempting to modify these values through a custom script is NOT guaranteed to take effect. "

Note, the CrosshairPen is not a brush that can be set. This a ToString() property and not the actual property used for the brush.

I'm not aware of a way to change the crosshair color through code, but it is possible to render custom lines. Note, this will be CPU intensive.

Thanks Chelsea
Yes whilst trying to get it to work I have had crashes and all sorts of issues - so I will forget about the crosshair as the 3 things I have now are stable.
It would have been nice and I have no idea why changing a crosshair colour should cause so much stress to the app!!
Could I add it to the development list please.

Hello Mindset,

I've submitted a feature request on your behalf for the development team to consider allowing the crosshair brush to be set from ninjascript.

Once I have a tracking ID for this request I will post in this thread for future reference.
