ObjectMove

The function changes coordinates of the specified anchor point of the object.

bool  ObjectMove(
   long      chart_id,        // chart identifier
   string    name,            // object name
   int       point_index,     // anchor point number
   datetime  time,            // Time
   double    price            // Price
   );

Parameters

chart_id

[in]  Chart identifier. 0 means the current chart.

name

[in]  Name of the object.

point_index

[in]  Index of the anchor point. The number of anchor points depends on the type of object.

time

[in]  Time coordinate of the selected anchor point.

price

[in]  Price coordinate of the selected anchor point.

Return Value

The function returns true if the command has been successfully added to the queue of the specified chart, or false otherwise.

Note

An asynchronous call is always used for ObjectMove(), that is why the function only returns the results of adding the command to a chart queue. In this case, true only means that the command has been successfully enqueued, but the result of its execution is unknown.

To check the command execution result, you can use a function that requests object properties, such as ObjectGetXXX. However, you should keep in mind that such functions are added to the end of the queue of that chart, and they wait for the execution result (due to the synchronous call), and can therefore be time consuming. This feature should be taken into account when working with a large number of objects on a chart.
