Global Objects Issue

[Mindset]

Draw.Text(this,"vv"+CurrentBar,s,0,y,false,"CrimFill");

If I draw the above applying my Template "CrimFill" the text shows up; if I change the template CrimFill" to Attach to all Charts - it disappears from the original chart and does not appear on other charts?
My Charts have the setting Show Global Draw Objects ticked so I am mystified.
This behaviour happens if I simply draw text randomly and apply the Template as well.

Update - Ok so If I reset the template to be on All Charts it works historically but not in real time?
Ah Ok so my CrossHairs also no longer work in Global - so it's a bigger issue.
I shall repair and see if that solves the issue.

Ok so a repair seems to have fixed it.

Ok so it's repeating the same issue again.

Hello Mindset,

Try;

Draw.Text(this,"vv"+CurrentBar,s,0,y,true,"CrimFill");

[Mindset]

yes I tried that Chelsea - Im having some serious issues with this - It now only plots live on the volumetric chart, and historically on other charts -whether I have true or false. Makes no difference.
I shall persevere as at one stage I had it working but it was sucking up resources at a phenomenal rate as it was plotting all the objects and I am trying to restrict it to visible bars only.

string s = (calc.ToString("N2"));
                    double y = High[0]+TickSize*2;
                    if(Close[0] < Open[0])
                        y = Low[0] -TickSize *2;​
 int firstVisibleBar = ChartBars.FromIndex;
    int lastVisibleBar = ChartBars.ToIndex;    
// Check if the current bar is within the visible range
    if (CurrentBar >= firstVisibleBar && CurrentBar <= lastVisibleBar)
    {
                    {
                        if(calc > deltaThreshold)
                          
                        
                            Draw.Text(this,"vv"+( CurrentBar),s,0,y,true,"CrimFill");
                    
                  
                    }

Hello Mindset,

Drawing tool methods should not be called from OnRender() and should be called from a data driven method only.
OnRender() is for custom rendering only.
The visible chart bars will only be relevant in OnRender() so would not be applicable here.

I've made a test script and I'm not seeing an issue with just a few objects.

If you are planning on having a large amount of shapes or text, it would be recommended to custom render the shapes and text and not Drawing tool methods.

Ah ok thanks for that - did not know about Drawing inside OnRender. I will alter my code accordingly.
