Is there any way to read the template name of the chart?

[mbingol]

Hi,

When I attach my EA, I need to see what template is attached to the chart so that EA can open other time period charts of that symbol with whatever template has been applied to the chart.

We can apply  a template with ChartApplyTemplate  command. But I couldn't find a command like ChartGetTemplate.

Thanks  in advance

You are right I had to use the word "apply" instead of "attach" for templates on a chart.

It's not possible to get the template used. You have to use a workaround : ChartSaveTemplate(), open a new chart, ChartApplyTemplate().

Excellent workaround. Thank you very much Alain.
