Text_???? Syntax

[momentom 10]

I have some code that places text onto my MultiCharts screen as signals. I want to make the text BOLD. I looked in the TS EL books and there seems to be every text command except that one. Anyone have a clue?

 

TIA

Text_SetAttribute

 

Sets an attribute of the text in a text object with the specified ID number;

returns a value of 0 if the attribute was successfully set,

and a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

 

The following text attributes can be set: border, bold, italic, strike-out, and underline.

 

Usage

 

Text_SetAttribute(ObjectID, Attribute, LogicalExpression)

 

 

Parameters

 

ObjectID - a numerical expression specifying the object ID number

 

Attribute - a numerical expression specifying the attribute:

 

0 - border

1 - bold

2 - italic

3 - strike-out

4 - underline

 

LogicalExpression - a logical value; True = on and False = off

 

 

Note

 

An object-specific ID number is returned by Text_New when the text object is created.

 

 

Example

 

Set the attribute "bold" to on for the text in a text object with the ID number of 3:

 

Value1 = Text_SetAttribute(3, 1, True );
