Remove text from chart

[Charles Stangor]

So I created a text object and display it,

e.g ObjectCreate(0,labelID,OBJ_LABEL,0,100,100);

...but if its output changes the old text doesn't disappear.  

How to refresh the chart to remove the old text?

Thanks.

Update it with

ObjectSetString(....

function.

https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/objects/objectsetstring

You can set (or get) several variables.

ENUM_OBJECT_PROPERTY_STRING

Identifier	Description	Property Type
OBJPROP_NAME	Object name	string
OBJPROP_TEXT	Description of the object (the text contained in the object)	string
OBJPROP_TOOLTIP	The text of a tooltip. If the property is not set, then the tooltip generated automatically by the terminal is shown. A tooltip can be disabled by setting the "\n" (line feed) value to it	string
OBJPROP_LEVELTEXT	Level description	string    modifier=level number
OBJPROP_FONT	Font	string
OBJPROP_BMPFILE	The name of BMP-file for Bitmap Label. See also Resources	string    modifier: 0-state ON, 1-state OFF
OBJPROP_SYMBOL	Symbol for the Chart object	string

 

For you i believe it's

OBJPROP_TEXT

Yes, thanks Marco.  Also be sure to remove the prior object using ObjectDelete before rewriting the new one :)
