Trying to get text string and brush color of text drawingtool

[Galatea]

I'm using:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

// Loops through the DrawObjects collection via a threadsafe list copy

foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects.ToList())
{

if (draw is DrawingTools.Text)
{

DrawingTools.Text myText = draw as DrawingTools.Text;

}

}

}

I am unable to figure out how to get the actual text string and the color from MyText but can't figure it out.

Please help.

Hello Jim,

Thanks for your post.

Please see the example script on the forum thread linked below which demonstrates getting a Drawing Object's properties, such as Brush color, by looping through the DrawObjects collection.

Note that there are no documented means for getting the Text of a Draw.Text() object.

DrawObjects: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rawobjects.htm
DrawingTool Objects: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rawingtool.htm

Let me know if I may assist further.
