New comment
 

Hi, this is my code for 2 text objects at bottom of window.The problem is that mt4 is trimming the text, ie txt_id1="aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbcccccccccccddddddd" but in screen i only see "aaaaaaaaabbbbccc".

any help? thank you.


if (ObjectFind(txt_id1)==-1) ObjectCreate(txt_id1, OBJ_LABEL, 1,0,0);

if (ObjectFind(txt_id2)==-1) ObjectCreate(txt_id2, OBJ_LABEL, 1,0,0);

ObjectSetText(txt_id1,apstr,10,"Courier New",Moccasin);
// x=570
ObjectSet(txt_id1, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 0);
ObjectSet(txt_id1, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 400);

ObjectSetText(txt_id2,apstr1,10,"Courier New",Moccasin);
ObjectSet(txt_id2, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 0);
ObjectSet(txt_id2, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 420);
 

Short answer: limit object names and text to a maximum of 63 characters.


This script builds off your example and shows what happens when you try to exceed 63 characters for the name or text:


#include <stdlib.mqh>

int start()
   {
   // Works, no truncation
   WriteLN( "A", 
            "NA1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901",   // name = 63 Characters
            "TA1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901",   // text = 63 Characters
            Red,
            0,
            50);
   
   // name is truncated to 63 characters, object can't be found when called with 64 character name
   WriteLN( "B", 
            "NB12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012",  // name = 64 Characters
            "TB1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901",   // text = 63 Characters
            Yellow,
            0,
            100);

   // text is truncated to 63 characters         
   WriteLN( "C", 
            "NC1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901",   // name = 63 Characters
            "TC12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012",  // text = 64 Characters
            Lime,
            0,
            150);
   
   }

void WriteLN(string trial, string name, string text, color clr, int xDist, int yDist)
   {   
   if (ObjectFind(name)==-1) ObjectCreate(name, OBJ_LABEL, 0,0,0);
   Print(trial, "-Create: ", ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
   
   ObjectSetText(name,text,10,"Courier New",Moccasin);
   Print(trial, "-SetText: ", ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
   
   ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_COLOR, clr);
   Print(trial, "-SetColor: ", ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
   
   ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, xDist);
   Print(trial, "-SetX: ", ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
   
   ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, yDist);
   Print(trial, "-SetY: ", ErrorDescription(GetLastError()));
   }
