Check the Study Settings window for the study. At the bottom left, if there is a box labeled DLLName.FunctionName, then the source code is available. 2. Copy the text beginning with scsf following the dot (e.g. "scsf_VolumeWeightedAveragePrice") 3. In Notepad++ open the Find All (Ctrl-Shift-F) 4. In Find What: Paste the scsf function name 5. In Filters: *.cpp 6. Directory: c:\sierrachart\acs_source 7. Click Find All The CPP file and the location of the function will result. Search "scsf_VolumeWeightedAveragePrice" (1 hit in 1 file of 450 searched) [Extended: Case] c:\sierrachart\acs_source\Studies3.cpp (1 hit) Line 592: SCSFExport scsf_VolumeWeightedAveragePrice(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) The entire function can then be copied, pasted, and edited in your CPP. It will not compile by itself; it needs the other stuff found in a custom study.

Tools do not have their source code available, but you can create a custom tool based on the existing tools: Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study Your custom tool will not be on the Tools menu. You will need to create your own interaction with it. (Chart menu, keyboard shortcut, etc.)

ok so i assume this would be a custom study that i would have to create a interaction for?

so currenlty i use a lot of tool bars with custom tools on them ...is it possible to make a button on the toolbar that could be used as an interaction? Or another question will ACSIL allows me to modify native drawing tool properties dialogs. So if I wanted to add a user defined option in the Extended Rectangles Properties window would this be something that could be down? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2025-07-01 17:52:38

ACSIL will let you use a Control Bar Button to enable a custom tool, which can modify the properties of any existing tool type. Study settings can allow a user to customize the tool. Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study
