How to program these lines on a chart.

[bigbear92]

Hi all I would like to know how to create these little line markers just above the time line y axis. They are not able to be selected or moved around. I cannot find a OBJ_TYPE corresponding to it in ObjectCreate().

You may be able to use 

OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL

Then they are probably not objects but buffer lines. And likely redrawn when the chart scale changes.

Hi, is there a way to put buffer lines on the main chart window line in the above picture instead of a separate window?

Why do you think it's buffer lines ?

I would say objects as Keith.

Your image shows they aren't in a separate window, they are at the bottom of the only window. Compare to image in the link I provided.

Non-selectable "objects" are usually buffers, especially in MT4, where non-selectable wasn't an option pre-build 600.

Yes, it makes sense, I missed that point.

I still have no idea how to go about creating these lines at the bottom of the chart. Any help leading me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated :)

#property       indicator_separate_window

#property indicator_chart_window // I have tried changing it to this but then no lines show up

I have tried changing from separate_window to the chart_window but then the lines dissappear. No idea how to set to the lowest price of the visible y axis.

Never Mind I found out the

WindowPriceMin

function works.
