Display private int on chart

[RobotSyndicate]

Hello,

I have created a strategy with a few chart grid buttons that change the value of a private int up and down when clicked, and I would like to display that dynamic int value somewhere. Would you please be able to point me in the right direction to help me figure that out?

Thanks!

Hi RobotSyndicate, thanks for your post.

You can use the Draw.Text() method to display the text onto the screen. You could also use custom "SharpDX" rendering to do this by overriding the OnRender method:

There is a sample in the platform called "SampleCustomRender" that showcases the many capabilities of SharpDX.

If you have any questions on this material please let me know.
