I cannot find documentation/example for creation of Custom Drawing Tool nor how to associate it with a button like CDT1 on the toolbar.. It's just a study that produces a tool drawing? A certain name will associate it with the proper button?

I have a follow-up question to this thread of August 2014 for an update. Is it now possible using ACSIL to create a 'Custom Drawing Tool' with an associated Toolbar Button? If so, here is what I need it to do: 1) Click on a toolbar button to activate the custom drawing tool then single click on a chart to draw several lines 2) These lines will be a combination of horizontal, vertical and trend lines calculated within code from the point of click 3) Also need the ability to select the tool as a 'complete unit' on the chart and drag to new chart locations In other words creating a Custom Drawing Tool that behaves the same as a built-in drawing tool. Thank you!

3) Also need the ability to select the tool as a 'complete unit' on the chart and drag to new chart locations You should be able to do this if your custom study modifies the drawings all at once in response to some pointer action. Refer to: Advanced Custom Study Interaction With Menus, Control Bar Buttons, Pointer Events Some of the order entry studies in /ACS_Source/OrderEntryStudies.cpp demonstrate how to use the Pointer interaction to modify a line.
