Problem With Rectangle's Description

New comment
 

I made an indicator to draw rectangles with description. The problem is the description is shown inside the rectangles. But if I draw the rectangle manually, the description is shown above the rectangle. I would like to make the indicator to show description above the rectangles. See screenshot below:


Anybody know how to fix this?


Indicator settings are:

DrawAsBackground = true; ShowDescription = true;

      int l = iLowest(Symbol(), 0, MODE_LOW, iBarShift(Symbol(), 0, start)-iBarShift(Symbol(), 0, end), iBarShift(Symbol(), 0, end));

         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_BACK, DrawAsBackground);
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_COLOR, BoxColor);
         if(ShowDescription)
            ObjectSetText(name, text);
      }
      else
      {
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_BACK, DrawAsBackground);
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_COLOR, BoxColor);
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_TIME1, start);
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_PRICE1, Low[l]);
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_TIME2, end);
         ObjectSet(name, OBJPROP_PRICE2, High[h]);
         if(ShowDescription)
            ObjectSetText(name, text);

I didn't know that you could show the rectangles' descriptions on the chart, so I am not sure.

You could try reversing the price parameters 

ObjectCreate(name, OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, start, Low[l], end, High[h]);

//Try changing to 

ObjectCreate(name, OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, start, High[h], end, Low[l]);
