I ran into a problem with UseTool. I draw retracement on chart with UseTool and when I modify the BeginIndex, EndIndex, BeginValue or EndValue it changes one of the grid level (-33%) appearance. That grid level will change its thickness to 25 from 1 (see attached picture). Here is the code with I draw and modify the drawing: int DrawEntryGrid(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, int EntryGridLineNumber, float EntryGridBeginValue, float EntryGridEndValue, int EntryGridBeginIndex, int EntryGridEndIndex) { s_UseTool Grid; Grid.Clear(); Grid.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber; Grid.Region = sc.GraphRegion; if(EntryGridLineNumber != 0) Grid.LineNumber = EntryGridLineNumber; Grid.AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 1; Grid.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; Grid.DrawingType = DRAWING_RETRACEMENT; Grid.UseToolConfigNum = 10; Grid.BeginIndex = EntryGridBeginIndex; Grid.BeginValue = EntryGridBeginValue; Grid.EndIndex = EntryGridEndIndex; Grid.EndValue = EntryGridEndValue; sc.UseTool(Grid); return Grid.LineNumber; } I save the LineNumber in persistent variable after returning to be able to modify the drawing. |

We definitely cannot reproduce any problem. Remove this: Grid.UseToolConfigNum = 10; This is our test code: int& r_LineNumber = sc.GetPersistentInt(1);
if (sc.IsFullRecalculation) { s_UseTool Tool; //Tool.Clear(); Tool.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber; Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_RETRACEMENT; Tool.ExtendLeft = 1;// Extend the horizontal retracement lines to the left of the chart region. if (r_LineNumber != 0) Tool.LineNumber = r_LineNumber; int BarIndex = sc.ArraySize - 100;// 100 bars back and from high to low BarIndex = max(BarIndex, 0); Tool.BeginDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[BarIndex]; Tool.EndDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.ArraySize - 1]; Tool.BeginValue = sc.High[sc.ArraySize - 1]; Tool.EndValue = sc.Low[BarIndex]; Tool.Color = RGB(255, 0, 255); // Magenta Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; for (int LevelIndex = 0; LevelIndex < 16; LevelIndex++) Tool.RetracementLevels[LevelIndex] = LevelIndex * 10.0f; Tool.ShowPrice = 1; Tool.ShowPercent = 1; Tool.RoundToTickSize = 0; Tool.TextAlignment = DT_VCENTER; // label vertical alignment Tool.AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 1; sc.UseTool(Tool); r_LineNumber = Tool.LineNumber;//Remember line number which has been automatically set } else if (sc.UpdateStartIndex < sc.ArraySize - 1) { // Update the drawing s_UseTool Tool; Tool.RetracementLevels[10] = FLT_MAX;//remove the 11th level int BarIndex = sc.ArraySize - 100;// 100 bars back and from high to low BarIndex = max(BarIndex, 0); Tool.BeginDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[BarIndex]; Tool.EndDateTime = sc.BaseDateTimeIn[sc.ArraySize - 1]; Tool.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber; Tool.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_OR_ADJUST; Tool.LineNumber = r_LineNumber; //Tool.UseToolConfigNum = 2; Tool.AddAsUserDrawnDrawing = 1; sc.UseTool(Tool); } Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

Still not working correctly, see the GIF. The linewidth modified just for the first level, if I turn it off then the problem disappears.
