ChartStyle properties dont work

[Marty125]

When I do the same as in image below, I get error message "The name ´IsTransparent´ does not exist in the current context". Am I missing some using or what is wrong?

Hello Marty125,

I've made a test copy of the CandleStyle chartStyle and printed property which you may find helpful.
IsTransparentCandleChartStyleTest_NT8.zip

Note, this property can be used in State.Configure but the print also appears for cloned administrative instances which can be confusing. Printing this in State.Active would allow it to print only when selected for a chart.

So this only works in ChartStyle class? Not in indicator?

Hello Marty125,

Yes, this is a ChartStyle property.

From an indicator you can access the ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle of the chart.

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
if (ChartControl != null)
{
if (ChartBars.Properties.ChartStyle.IsTransparent)
{
Print("All bars are currently set to transparent");
}
}
}
}

Hi ChelseaB,

in ChartStyles scripts there are these Remove properties lines

Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("BarWidthUI", true));
Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("DownBrush", true));
Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("UpBrush", true));

Is it possible to remove/hide these in an indicator script? Thank you

Hello Marty125,

No, properties would need to be removed from the chart style script.
