I assume not but thought i'd ask. I have a seperate computer/server that computes the indicators (which all the charts are hidden/destroyed). And i want it to generate a screenshot when an indicator is found.

looks like it doesn't work, as expected. Although i've thought of a possible workaround. What if i "unhide" the chart, take a screenshot, then destroyed the chart again? Problem is i dont see a way to hide/unhide a chart through acsil, must be done through the menu. There are some window functions ShowWindow, DestroyWindow but it doesn't seem to be playing nice. Generally speaking, *should* something like this work? Do you forsee any potential issues given how SC works? If you guys think so i'll keep moving down this path

I guess a better question would be, would i have any way to access a hidden (destoryed) chart window programmatically? Or is it complete inaccessible (and internally managed within SC at that point)? If so sounds like i'll have to manually generate an image from the chart data i have.

does sc.SaveChartImageToFileExtended save the image of a hidden (destroyed) window? We will look into why this apparently does not work, we have to verify this, and see if we can solve this.

We checked on this, and a chart image can be taken with this function, when it is hidden. However, there are problems when doing it when it is destroyed. So just work with hidden charts only and not destroyed charts. The option to control this is in Global Settings >> General Settings.

unfortunately i have to destory the charts as im running into resource limitations with windows. Is there a way for me to Hide / Unhide windows through acsil? I think i'll be able to work around this issue if i can do this (assuming re-hiding the window will destroy it again)
