display open, high, low, close on mouse hover in HeikenAshi chandle

New comment
 

Hi,

On mouse hover over the regular candle stick, it displays open, close, high, low, and volume of that candle stick. I want to do the same thing with HeikenAshi candle stick. How can it be done, any suggestion will be appreciated?

Thanks.

 

You get those because that is the chart. The HA is an overlay on a chart.

  1. Make an offline HA chart. Or
  2. Add four extra buffers with appropriate labels, color none, and put the correct values in there. The extra buffers will provide the corresponding pop up. Or
  3. Create an invisible text object under every bar with the appropriate tooltip

Another question, is there a way to remove that regular box that appears when you hover the mouse over a regular candle?

@douglas14: just stumbled upon your question. You probably figured it out already long time ago, but maybe it'd be useful to someone else reading this. Funny enough I came here exactly because for me regular tooltips don't show up at all :-) You can 'remove' the regular tooltips (and nothing else) by placing a canvas over the entire chart area, like in below example:

#include <Canvas\canvas.mqh>
CCanvas MyCanvas;

void SetupCanvas() {
        int chartWidthPixels = int(ChartGetInteger(0 , CHART_WIDTH_IN_PIXELS));
        int chartHeightPixels = int(ChartGetInteger(0 , CHART_HEIGHT_IN_PIXELS));
        MyCanvas.CreateBitmapLabel("Test", 0, 0, chartWidthPixels, chartHeightPixels, COLOR_FORMAT_ARGB_NORMALIZE);
}

It works this way in the latest MetaEditor at the time of writing this post (build 4410, 21 Jun 2024). It is a known issue at MetaQuotes and may  soon be patched in some way.

Using this trick, you can toggle only the chart bars'/candle's tooltips, but the tooltips for other chart objects (e.g. trend lines) will still show up.
