Background box sizing

[Kristina Suh]

Hi,

I am trying to create a background box.

I seem to have a problem with adjusting the size, It starts at the right position, but I can't seem to get the length longer nomatter what I enter in the size number it doesn't change.

No matter what I change the x_sizeb & y_sizeb to, nothing happens.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

void CreateBackground (string backName, string text, int Bfontsize, int LabelCorner, int xB, int yB, int x_sizeb, int y_sizeb)
{
xB=-470;
yB=20;
x_sizeb=510;
y_sizeb=200;  
      if(ObjectFind(backName) == -1){
      ObjectCreate(backName, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);}
      ObjectSetText(backName, text, Bfontsize, "Webdings");      
      ObjectSet(backName, OBJPROP_CORNER, 1);
      ObjectSet(backName, OBJPROP_BACK, true);
      ObjectSet(backName,OBJPROP_XSIZE,x_sizeb);
      ObjectSet(backName,OBJPROP_YSIZE,y_sizeb);
      ObjectSet(backName, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, xB+adj);
      ObjectSet(backName, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, yB+adjy );    
      ObjectSet(backName, OBJPROP_COLOR, clrWhite);
}

Are you using MT5?

Then you should change it as follows.

ObjectSetText --> ObjectSetString

ObjectSet --> ObjectSetInteger

Hi Nagisa,

No,, I am using MT4

In future please post in the correct section

I will move your topic to the MQL4 and Metatrader 4 section.

Check sample code from the documentation on OBJ_LABEL, or at least add error checking for the ObjectCreate() function call.
