Anthony Garot:
I want to close all sub_windows on a chart.
Thus, I want to know the count of the number of sub_windows.
I found a work-around that works. I can loop from 10 (arbitrary number) to 1, then see if there are any indicators in these sub_windows. (see code below)
But this is rather brute force and arbitrary. Is there a function I missed to get the count of sub_windows?
long total; ChartGetInteger(ChartID(),CHART_WINDOWS_TOTAL,0,total); int sub_window = (int)total-1;maybe this is what you are asking.. ;-)

That's it, exactly. Thank you!
My revised code (for posterity).
// CHART_WINDOWS_TOTAL // The total number of chart windows, including indicator subwindows long num_windows=-1; ChartGetInteger(chartID,CHART_WINDOWS_TOTAL,0,num_windows); PrintFormat("Total Num windows [%d]",num_windows); for ( int sub_window = (int) num_windows - 1; sub_window>0; sub_window-- ) { // See if there are any indicators on this sub_window int numIndicators = ChartIndicatorsTotal(chartID,sub_window); PrintFormat("sub_window [%d] has [%d] indicators", sub_window, numIndicators); // Close all the indicators on this sub_window for(int index=0; index<numIndicators; index++) { // we don't want to remove ourselves . . . we just got loaded! string name = ChartIndicatorName(chartID,sub_window,index); if ( name == SHORT_NAME ) { PrintFormat("Leaving indicator [%d] (%s) of [%d] on sub_window [%d] of underlying chart", index, name, numIndicators, sub_window); } else { PrintFormat("Closing indicator [%d] (%s) of [%d] on sub_window [%d] of underlying chart", index, name, numIndicators, sub_window); if ( ! ChartIndicatorDelete(chartID,sub_window,name) ) { PrintFormat("Could not delete indicator [%s]", name); return(INIT_FAILED); } } } }
