How can I add Objects to Rectangle Label

New comment
 

Hi guys,

I need to know add some objects like OBJ_EDIT or OBJ_BUTTON to OBJ_RECTANGLE_LABEL. 

I want to create a panel and add my object to Rectangle Label, but I don't know how to add them.


 
Draw the rectangle and then draw the other objects on top

could you please show me some code

 

Use the same code that draws that rectangle and then set the object type to 

OBJ_BUTTON

thanks but I need to have all of them in a panel. If I drag Rectangle Label , all of objects must be move with Rectangle Label.

Is it possible to add button on rectangle label and if I move my panel all of objects move with it?

I get x and y distance of main panel in OnChartEvent()  and use CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG event but is has delay for other objects if I move the main panel.
