Hello Support.

I am wanting to use ACSIL to create an ellipse, and then customize the fill to color the top half and lower half with different colors.
So, I see that for ACSIL you have the s_UseTool ability to add the tool objects with code, and that using GDI is also
a possibility. So is it possible to use the GDI code to manipulate the Tool object? How would I get the handle?

Thank you.

After some research, I think what I am needing is the "HANDLE TO THE DeviceContext" for the Tool Object created in ACSIL. Where is that stored in Sierra Charts?
