Get color from Text drawn by indicator

[facuevasm]

Hello guys,

I would like to know how I can extract the text color by a Text object drawn from an external indicator loaded on chart.
I understand I can loop all drawn objects with this code:

foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects.ToList())
{
if(draw.Name == "Text") Print(draw.Tag)
}

But I would like to also restrict that the text object was drawn by a specific color. For example: White text color.

Thank you.

Hello facuevasm,

Thanks for your post.

If you need a specific property from a specific type of object you would need to cast to that object in your script and then you could access the specific property, such as the TextBrush property of that drawing object by using something like myDrawText.TextBrush.

For example, see below.

foreach (DrawingTool draw in DrawObjects.ToList())
{
    if (draw is DrawingTools.Text)
    { 
        DrawingTools.Text myDrawText = draw as DrawingTools.Text;

        Print("Text object: " + myDrawText.Tag + " TextBrush: " + myDrawText.TextBrush);
    }
}

See the 'Looping through the collection to find specific draw objects' section of this help guide page for more sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...rawobjects.htm
