Now please tell me that I have made a stupid mistake.

CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CHANGE and CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG seem to work perfectly

CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CREATE works most of the time

CHART_EVENT_OBJECT_DELETE hardly ever works.

I would appreciate if you could try this code and let me know how it works for you.

Obviously if you can spot what I have done wrong, then I will appreciate that also.


thanks

 
  if(id==CHART_EVENT_OBJECT_DELETE)
     {
     Print(sparam," Deleted");
    
     }

Should be CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE.

 

CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_CREATE works most of the time

It seems to always works for me, but could depend of how you tested it ?

Should be CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE.

Thank you Alain,

I just couldn't see it.

It works now.

Maybe I should delete this topic to save my embarrassment :)

Nah, we all make mistakes and thank God we have someone like you to point them out.

Thanks again, I was going crazy.

It may be that in earlier test codes I had made the same mistake. When it wasn't working properly, I changed some code  and that bit seems to be ok now.

Welcome. Just delete it if you want, I will not say it to anyone
 

An interesting thing I found which I didn't see documented anywhere (maybe it is)...

If you delete multiple objects, sparam on the chartevent is returned as *

If you delete multiple objects with the same prefix, sparam is still returned as *

If you delete multiple objects with the same prefix by using ObjectsDeleteAll(0,prefix) then sparam is returned as prefix*

 

Hi Devs, 

I have same problem. When I delete an Object from a chart, Chart event CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE does not work at all!!!

part of my code that checks for object delete is as below.

What do am I missing?!! 

if (id == CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE)
      {
      Comment(sparam); Print(sparam);
      FillLookBack();
      }

FillLookBack() is a function.

there is not any name on chart or journal when I delete an object!

you don't show all your code, is this correctly located in OnChartEvent function?

show all of your OnChartEvent function

Where you able to figure what was the problem, currently having the same problem

void OnChartEvent(const int id,const long& lparam,const double& dparam,const string& sparam)
  {
   // Printing the value of "id" to comfirm if something or the ID for CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE is seen
      Print (id);
      if(id == CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE)
        {
            Print("Working Finally");
        }
  }

The Chart is not printing any value for "CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE", if you delete an object from the chart it does nothing hence there is no value for id, meaning the instance of id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DELETE would not be seen.

Have you enabled it in OnInit() ?
