Try to create Arrow by OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE

New comment
 

Hi

I try to create Arrow by X,Y distance but not success.

I know Object Arrow need Time and Price for place it.But I want to create by another way.

How to convert X,Y to Time and Price. Or How to create arrow like this.


Thank You.

arrow

   string name_m1 = "m1";
ObjectCreate(0,name_m1, OBJ_ARROW_UP,0,0,0); //draw an up arrow
ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
   ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, x_dist+100);// X coordinate
   ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, yDistance+n);// Y coordinate
ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_COLOR,Blue);


 

 

Hello you can use a Label with font "windings" and the arrow code

Thank you Marco vd Heijden.

I try to do this .But not good result.
Please advice me to solve it.
Thank you.

arrow 

   string name_m1 = name+"m1";
   ObjectCreate(name_m1, OBJ_LABEL,0,0,0); //
   ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);    // Reference corner
   ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, x_dist+100);// X coordinate
   ObjectSet(name_m1, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, yDistance+n);// Y coordinate
   ObjectSetText(name_m1,CharToStr(217),12,"Wingdings",clrGreenYellow);

In your country maybe you have another character on Wingdings number 217.

You may be able to use "Wingdings 3". You can find it easily by searching on Google.

How to do that in MQL5?

This is the MQL4 section so please don't ask about MQL5. 

Code for objects in MQL5 is similar. The example given by Marco is exactly the same as MQL5.
