Two Questions: 1) Is it possible to hide the chart I've applied my ACSIL study to without opening a new chart? I reviewed the sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference() function but it seems it can only hide a new chart, unless I'm missing something. I've enabled Destroy Chart Windows When Hidden and use ACSIL to initiate a backtest, but still have to use a keyboard shortcut to manually hide the chart after the backtest starts. I also saw the ACSIL documentation on interaction with menus, control bar buttons, and pointer events but wasn't able to find a control bar option for Hide Window. 2) Is there any ACSIL functionality for getting information on and controlling sub-instances, e.g. get the sub-instance number of the chart the study is currently applied to, open a new chart in a new sub-instance, etc...? I use the Instances to Run on Startup option to open all of the sub-instances I'll need but any additional functionality would be helpful. |
