This is a basic acsil help request. Im certain there is a simple concept I'm missing. What is the right way to add a message to a log from within the "CustomFunction" function? Im using Remote Build. The output is: debug_test.cpp: In function 'void CustomFunction(SCCustomChartBarInterfaceRef)': debug_test.cpp:10:4: error: 'sc' was not declared in this scope sc.AddMessageToLog(DebugMessage, 0); ^ This code below is only used as a compile test, not to actually build custom chart bars. #include "sierrachart.h"
SCDLLName("debug example") SCSFExport CustomFunction(SCCustomChartBarInterfaceRef ChartBarInterface) { ChartBarInterface.StartNewBarFlag = 0; if (ChartBarInterface.IsDeterminingIfShouldStartNewBar) { SCString DebugMessage; DebugMessage.Format("Hello World #1"); sc.AddMessageToLog(DebugMessage, 0); return; } } SCSFExport scsf_CustomChartBarsExample(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { // This function is called from another thread. sc.fp_ACSCustomChartBarFunction = CustomFunction; sc.AutoLoop = 0;//Always use manual looping. return; } } thanks for your consideration, |

The function needs to be passed reference to sc structure - ACSIL Programming Concepts: Passing ACSIL Interface Members Structure To Secondary Function But, for CustomChartBarFunction, I don't think this is possible. sc.fp_ACSCustomChartBarFunction expects pointer to function only one variable 'SCCustomChartBarInterfaceRef' |

I'd wondered about that. Thanks very much for taking the time to reply.

I'm trying to debug my custom chart bars code, so if the AddMessageToLog function can be added within SCCustomChartBarInterfaceRef that would be great.

Just following up on this thread. I see this member function isn't yet available in SCCustomChartBarInterfaceRef. Could you guys please add AddMessageToLog please? |
