I'm developing an ACSIL study that needs to read the position of a user-drawn horizontal line in real-time while the user is dragging it. What I've tried: sc.GetUserDrawnDrawingByLineNumber() - Returns position only after mouse release sc.GetSelectedUserDrawnDrawingFromChart() - Returns position only after mouse release sc.ActiveToolYValue - Doesn't update during Sierra Chart's internal drag handling sc.GetLineNumberOfSelectedUserDrawnDrawing() - Correctly identifies which drawing is selected, but can't get live position Also tried sc.UpdateAlways = 1 sc.ReceivePointerEvents = ACS_RECEIVE_POINTER_EVENTS_ALWAYS Drawing created with AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 1 Observation: Sierra Chart's own price label on the drawing updates correctly during drag, so the position IS known internally, but I can't find a way to get it into the study while it's being edited. Question: Is there an ACSIL function to get the real-time position of a user-drawn drawing while it's being dragged, before the mouse button is released? Thank you! |

We need to add a new function for this. This new ACSIL function will be in the next release: int32_t (SCDLLCALL* GetCurrentUserDrawnChartDrawing)(int32_t ChartNumber, s_UseTool& r_ChartDrawing); Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
