How do I lock pixel spacing between two textboxes?

[Samuel Beer]

Hi guys,

This is a screenshot of the Monster Harmonic Indicator by Paul Geirnaerdt. I have 2 questions:

1) How can i fit two textboxes beneath a candle low so they don't squeeze together when i squeeze the chart together? This happens because the text is fixed to a price coordinate and when they move together, text moves together as well. Compare these screenshots:

If i squeeze it, the text ought to squeeze together as well but it doesn't in the Indicator:

How did the author accomplish that? Basically: Is there some convenient way to fix a textbox to the bottom of another textbox?

2) How can i draw text in the middle of a line so they stick to that centerpoint?

Thanks for helping! :)

RichPiano: This happens because the text is fixed to a price coordinate and when they move together, text moves together as well.	Text boxes are an edit objects. Those in your image are not. Text objects are fixed to a price/time coordinate and thus move with the changing chart. And if you want them to remain on screen must be moved each new bar. Use a label object that is fixed in pixel coordinates (using OBJPROP_XDISTANCE) to the chart. See the example of ObjectCreate - Object Functions - MQL4 Reference
