For an example of what I mean, see the attached screenshots. That is some random study which someone made and I'm not affiliated with it. I just want to re-create a smiliar kind of thing in my own study, which would essentially be a panel which includes information and allows input through buttons and text fields/dropdown boxes, so that the logic of the study can be interacted with on the fly from the chart. also if it can be dragged from one location to another. In the SierraChart documentation I couldn't find any reference specifically of how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated

This has nothing to do with ACSIL. Linked resource library to your project ...
C ++ is not ACSIL, ACSIL only adheres to the C ++ standard



Same request .. dialog box of the same appearance (from the same author) ....
The answer from Sierrachart's support is also there

btw

Use of Dialog Windows in Advanced Custom Studies
A custom study creation of windows and dialog windows through the operating system API functions can be done. In the case of dialog boxes on the Windows operating system, refer to Dialog Boxes.

Any programming help in this area is not within the scope of this documentation. It is up to you and your abilities to do that type of development if you require. It is possible but outside the scope of any documentation provided here.

ACSIL Programming Concepts: Use of Dialog Windows in Advanced Custom Studies




So the easiest way will be to contact the author and ask for help in creating your own window ... or buy his product (which is well known and is very nice)

Thank you :) I didn't realize a similar question (even referencing the same image) had been asked previously. I did search beforehand but didn't see that. I appreciate your answer, it's exactly what I was looking for

It was written in good thinking with you :)
References to the Microsoft website are sufficient. If you enter the names of specific Dialog boxes, you will find hundreds of different examples on the net.

From my experience: When programming, be careful when removing objects, poor cleaning causes the sierrachart to crash;)

Good luck
