Determine if Range/Return Icon is Visible?

[MarkWise]

Hello!

Is it possible to programmatically determine if the Range icon is visible on the upper right corner of the chart?

I'm using OnRender() to custom paint some information and I would like to bump that information down if the icon is visible.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Hello MarkWise,

Thank you for your post.

You can use the ChartScale Properties to do this. For example:

		protected override void OnRender(ChartControl chartControl, ChartScale chartScale)
		{         
			if (chartScale.Properties.YAxisRangeType == YAxisRangeType.Automatic)
			{
				// do something
			}
		}

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for the reply, Patrick.

I must be missing something because I don't see how the "Y Scale" properties would indicate if the "Range" symbol is displayed.

To be clear, I'm referring to the symbol located under the "Range Icon" section here:

Thoughts?

Hello MarkWise,

Thank you for your response.

When the small 'F' is shown the YAxisRangeType will return Fixed.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

I understand that one. But what about the black button that looks like "<|"? That's the one I'm wondering about...

I guess, I'm trying to figure out if the user has panned the chart left or right. That's when the "<|" and "|>" symbols appear.

You can use ChartControl.IsScrollArrowVisible: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...rowvisible.htm
