Overload

[hadyn68]

I am making my first indicator which is just a countdown to the next candle placed next to the candle but I always get this error message

CandlestickCountdown.cs	No overload for method 'Text' takes 10 arguments	CS1501	67	18

I tried reducing the arguments but the fault is always the same with 2 too many arguments.

Please help!!

TIA

Hello TIA,

May I confirm you are supplying the required parameters in the correct order that is matching an overload signature?

Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y)
Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y, Brush textBrush)
Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, string text, int barsAgo, double y, bool isGlobal, string templateName)
Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, int barsAgo, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)
Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, DateTime time, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)

There are no overload signatures that have 10 parameters.

There is one with 5, one with 6, one with 7, and two 13.

This is what I've got

Draw.Text(this, uniqueTag, // Unique tag
timeLeft.ToString(), // Text to display (countdown time)
0, timerY, // Position (x=0, y=timerY)
Brushes.White, // Text color
new System.Windows.Media.FontFamily("Arial"), // Font family (optional)
14, // Font size
TextAlignment.Center, // Text alignment (centered)
100); // Z-order (layering)

Hello hadyn68,

This has 10 parameters. There are no overload signatures for Draw.TextFixed() that have 10 parameters, and also non that have a z-order parameter.

You will need to use a valid overload signature and provide the proper parameters.

Perhaps you want to use this overload signature?

Draw.Text(NinjaScriptBase owner, string tag, bool isAutoScale, string text, int barsAgo, double y, int yPixelOffset, Brush textBrush, SimpleFont font, TextAlignment alignment, Brush outlineBrush, Brush areaBrush, int areaOpacity)
