Hi, I just came across something odd. When I run a while loop on sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing and delete a drawing that fits my criteria with sc.DeleteUserDrawnACSDrawing inside that while loop, it seems that the next linenumber is skipped. See code snippet and log output below. Am I missing something? Frederik little codesnippet below: while( sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_RAY, ChartDrawing, DrawingIndex) ){
aap.Format("LineNumber = %d, DrawingIndex = %d", ChartDrawing.LineNumber, DrawingIndex); sc.AddMessageToLog(aap,1); if(FirstLineNr < 0 && (ChartDrawing.LineNumber > FirstLineNr || ChartDrawing.LineNumber < LastLineNr )){ sc.DeleteUserDrawnACSDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, ChartDrawing.LineNumber); aap.Format("Deleted LineNumber = %d", ChartDrawing.LineNumber); sc.AddMessageToLog(aap,1); } DrawingIndex++; } message log output: Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | FirstLineNr = -108 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LastLineNr = -113 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -102, DrawingIndex = 0 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | Deleted LineNumber = -102 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -104, DrawingIndex = 1 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | Deleted LineNumber = -104 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -106, DrawingIndex = 2 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | Deleted LineNumber = -106 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -108, DrawingIndex = 3 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -109, DrawingIndex = 4 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -110, DrawingIndex = 5 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -111, DrawingIndex = 6 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -112, DrawingIndex = 7 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * Chart: CLM19 5 Min #1 | Study: test | LineNumber = -113, DrawingIndex = 8 | 2019-05-06 03:03:25 * |

FirstLineNr = -108 LastLineNr = -113 LineNumber = -102, DrawingIndex = 0 | Deleted LineNumber = -102 | LineNumber = -104, DrawingIndex = 1 | Deleted LineNumber = -104 | LineNumber = -106, DrawingIndex = 2 | Deleted LineNumber = -106 | LineNumber = -108, DrawingIndex = 3 | LineNumber = -109, DrawingIndex = 4 | LineNumber = -110, DrawingIndex = 5 | LineNumber = -111, DrawingIndex = 6 | LineNumber = -112, DrawingIndex = 7 | LineNumber = -113, DrawingIndex = 8 | Hi, numbers are negative, condition LineNumber > FirstLineNr || LineNumber < LastLineNr is true, there is no other number that meets the condition If do you think that is bad loading getfunction because lines are missing "-107, -105, -103" try you to see if those lines actually exist on the chart, I had recently solved similar, when the index of already stored IDs has been shifted Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-05-06 19:44:40

The lines exist. That is my point. When delete is called the linenumber of the next drawing is skipped. The lines with linenumber "-107, -105, -103" are still on the chart, but should be deleted.

Solved the issue. Maybe documentation can be adjusted. When delete is done do not update the DrawingIndex. Below code works fine. Thanks @Ackin. You gave me an idea about the indexing. while( sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, DRAWING_HORIZONTAL_RAY, ChartDrawing, DrawingIndex) ){
aap.Format("LineNumber = %d, DrawingIndex = %d", ChartDrawing.LineNumber, DrawingIndex); sc.AddMessageToLog(aap,1); if(FirstLineNr < 0 && (ChartDrawing.LineNumber > FirstLineNr || ChartDrawing.LineNumber < LastLineNr )){ sc.DeleteUserDrawnACSDrawing(sc.ChartNumber, ChartDrawing.LineNumber); aap.Format("Deleted LineNumber = %d", ChartDrawing.LineNumber); sc.AddMessageToLog(aap,1); continue; } DrawingIndex++; } |

Thank you a lot @sstfrederik and @Ackin. The documentation should be indeed adjusted. Not obvious behavior of sc.DeleteUserDrawnACSDrawing at all that costed me a couple of sleepless nights. :(

We would think it should be understood that if a Chart Drawing is removed, the internal storage of the Chart Drawings is affected and the indexes of those Chart Drawings would be affected. However, we have done a documentation update about this.
