How can search string on indicator

mrbizu 2010.11.05 15:12

I have a indicator, it' separate chart window. This indicator show signal by strings " BUY" or "SELL" ....I want to get this "signal" by get string "BUY" or "SELL" when its output. But I'm not find any function can search string in this indicator. I was try functions : WindowFind(), ObjectFind() and StringFind(), but thats can't work.

I also view this code of indicator, but I cant get it by function iCustom() because this indicator is show signal by strings, not draw.

Anyone can help me to do this problem. Thanks a lot

If you got nothing in the data window then the indicator uses objects to draw strings on the window.

You can get the string is the object if it's a label object and if you know its name by this function:

string ObjectDescription(

string name)

There is ObjectSetText(), but Canvas is cool! Function that will delete

Follow your guide, i try use function ObjectDescription for this example :

====================

string label_01="BUY";

string label_02= ObjectDescription("BUY");

if (label_01 == label_02) Comment (" String is correct");

else Comment (" String is not correct");

====================

Right click, show objects and find the pattern.

Most likely, where there's an object, one of the indicator's buffers will also be non-EMPTY. If true, just use iCustom()

Hi WHRoeder,

My indicator's buffers is empty. If not I used function : iCustom() . Thanks
