I’m trying to follow the instructions listed under the heading "Searching for Source Code for Sierra Chart Built-In Studies” on this page: How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code When I complete Step 3, the following messages appear in the Log: 2024-11-26 01:11:20.140 | Error creating process C:\Users\Garrett\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\Code.exe. Windows error code 2: The system cannot find the file specified.
2024-11-26 01:11:20.140 | Error creating the Advanced Custom Studies editor process. Why is this error happening? The file path makes no sense to me - my name is not Garrett and the computer I’m using does not have a user called Garrett. I also don’t have VS Code installed on my computer. Notepad++ is installed on my computer and this is the setting saved under Global Settings > General Settings > Path: Text Editor Path and Filename:C:\Program Files\Notepad++\notepad++.exe
How do I fix the error? Ultimately, I’m trying to get access to the source code for some Sierra Chart Built-In Studies (so I can use as a foundation to make some custom studies with additional functionality)… If you know of another way to do this, please let me know. |

Nevermind, rather than doing this via Sierra Chart I just opened the file directly in Notepad++ and it worked.

Easy way to view all SC biult in studies: -Download and install the free version of Visual Studio. -Open any of these files in VS: Sierrachart/ACS_Source/Studies.cpp, Studies1.cpp, Studies2.cpp.....Studies8.cpp -Use the dropdown in the upper right just above the code. These show you all individual studies in that file. -These act like bookmarks so just select the one you want and it will tak you to it. Even faster way: Add all those cpp files to GPT and then ask it to find the study you want and reprint it verbatim. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-11-26 15:14:36
