how can hide the buffer drawing candle in seperate window ?

 

HI.

in separate window i draw candle

#property indicator_type1   DRAW_COLOR_CANDLES
#property indicator_color1  clrGray,clrSandyBrown,clrLimeGreen

i want to hide them. i used this:

if(!show_candle) PlotIndexSetInteger(0,PLOT_DRAW_TYPE,DRAW_NONE);

but the result is not true . and my result will be false.

can you please help.

 
What are you trying to do ? 

You want the user to be able to switch the separate window display on or off?

not to switch the separate window display on or off.

only want to  on or off the drawing candles drawn by plotting buffer. and keep the other's.
