Hi! What kind of error can occur related to writing text to the Chart with Tools, which forces SC to close instantly? The goal of the ACSIL Custom Study is to make statistics about Signals. I want to write the results of the statistics to the Chart. When I launch the Study, the Sierra Chart crashes intantly, without any Log or sign. |

There would be an exception or possibly a stack corruption is occurring.

It may be stack corruption, but I don't use any arrays when I format the text. Here are a few examples how the text is formatted: float Reached_Hundred_Percent, Reached_Stop_Percent;
if (Cases != 0) { Reached_Hundred_Percent = Reached_Hundred / Cases * 100; Reached_Stop_Percent = Reached_Stop / Cases * 100; } else Reached_Hundred_Percent = Reached_Stop_Percent = 0; //Formatting SCString Text.Format("Reached 100: %.2f", Reached_Hundred_Percent); Text.AppendFormat("\nReached Stop First: %.2f", Reached_Stop_Percent); //Writing out Input setting Text.AppendFormat("\nWriteToFile active: %i", WriteToFile_input.GetYesNo()); Another thing may worth mentioning: I use an own header file to make coding more efficient, and I add Tools that way. The text is added the following way: DrawOnScreenText(sc, LineNumber, OnScreenText_Vertical_input.GetInt(), OnScreenText_Horizontal_input.GetInt(),
sc.GraphRegion, OnScreenText_Customization_SG, Text); |

Allow me one last question: I read the documentation about additional header files here: Advanced Custom Study Interface and Language (ACSIL): Using Additional Header Files I realised that I made a mistake, and placed the header file under the "#include "sierrachart.h"" and not above. Can it cause this issue? I included my own and other header files this way in various other Custom Studies too, but I had not encounter this problem until now. Naturally I will correct the issue, and rebuild all of them. But what kind of issues can this mistake generate later on? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-08-14 12:33:22

We do not think the placement of the header file is the cause of the issue. That can cause compiler errors but that is all.
