Text inside indicator - page 5

Thanks wald99 : I am trying.

I would suggest Metaquotes the creation of a course that starts from bases (syntax), also with some video if possible, of specific to mq5: this is very useful for those who start programming.

I think that many people are interested in MT5  but not know how to programming.

Hi Investeo

many thanks, your code works, i.e.the label shows up, but the value is not updating. Did I make a mistake?

Here is my code.


walb99,


Try this. The problem was that you tried to update the value only if label object was not available. I added timestamp to the label, so you can see the time updating with every tick.


int OnCalculate(        const int rates_total,
                                                const int prev_calculated,
                                                const datetime &time[],
                                                const double &open[],
                                                const double &high[],
                                                const double &low[],
                                                const double &close[],
                                                const long &tick_volume[],
                                                const long &volume[],
                                                const int &spread[])
{
        int limit;
        if (CountBars >= rates_total) limit = 0; else limit = rates_total - CountBars; 
        

        CopyBuffer(ma1_handle, 0, 0, rates_total, MA1TempBuffer);
        

        for (int i = rates_total - 1; i > limit; i--)
        {
                MA1Buffer[i] = MA1TempBuffer[i];
           double myMA_now = MA1TempBuffer[i];
                double myMA_previous = MA1TempBuffer[i - 1]; //MA One bar ago
                
                
                 
                if (myMA_now >= myMA_previous) MA1ColorBuffer[i] = 0;
                else if (myMA_now < myMA_previous) MA1ColorBuffer[i] = 1;
                        
        }
                

        myMAnow=MA1TempBuffer[rates_total-1-MA1_Shift]; 
       // myMAnow=MA1TempBuffer[rates_total - 1]; 
        


          
   myPrice = SymbolInfoDouble(_Symbol, SYMBOL_BID);
   
   if(myPrice>myMAnow)label_color=Lime;  else label_color=Red; 

   
   


  // check if label object does not already exist and create it
 
  if(ObjectFind(0,label_info)<0)
  {
      // Create label in indicator's window 
      ObjectCreate(0,label_info,OBJ_LABEL,window,0,0); 
        // Set X and Y distance from UPPER RIGHT CORNER      
      ObjectSetInteger(0,label_info,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,200);
      ObjectSetInteger(0,label_info,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,20);
       ObjectSetInteger(0,label_info,OBJPROP_CORNER, CORNER_RIGHT_UPPER); 
          
       // Set text properties: colour, font and font size
      ObjectSetInteger(0,label_info,OBJPROP_COLOR,label_color);
      ObjectSetString(0,label_info,OBJPROP_FONT,"Arial");
      ObjectSetInteger(0,label_info,OBJPROP_FONTSIZE,14);   
    
       // Set text to display
      ObjectSetString(0,label_info,OBJPROP_TEXT,DoubleToString(myMAnow,nDigits));

      
     
  } else 
  {
      ObjectSetString(0,label_info,OBJPROP_TEXT,TimeToString(TimeCurrent(), TIME_SECONDS)+" "+DoubleToString(myMAnow,nDigits));
  }; 
  

 
        return(rates_total);
}

walb99,

Thanks, this works

if I put also info about label color into the brackets, the label color is also updated properly.

 } else 
  {
      ObjectSetInteger(0,label_info,OBJPROP_COLOR,label_color);
      ObjectSetString(0,label_info,OBJPROP_TEXT,TimeToString(TimeCurrent(), TIME_SECONDS)+" "+DoubleToString(myMAnow,nDigits));
  }; 
  
 

where do you assign that objectname to in the rsi example above? I read the whole code but doesnt understand,

I just want to put a simple text into the indicator windows, I just cant get the same result like the RSI example above

  }

result :

 

 

ok, I think i got it work from just showing the text, next I will work with the indicator.  but can somebody tell me why I can't use obj_label instead of obj_text to make it display the text ?
