Help in This Indicator

Hello everybody,

I found a very useful indicator here on Code Base it is called Candle Direction Panel. I want to re-code it so the panel appear in a separate window.

You will need to change

 

#property indicator_chart_window

to this

 

#property indicator_separate_window

  

You will also need to grab the window handle  using something like

int window=WindowFind(shortName); // Where shortName was the name you set in IndicatorShortName(shortName);

 

 Then where you create the objects in Init(), set the subwindow to the window handle rather than "0" (the main chart).

Refer to the documentation for ObjectCreate and pay particular attention to the references to subwindow
