Hello, I would like to add a screenshot feature to my external documentation application. I would like to use your great UDP Interface. The more I see and understand about Sierrachart, the more I love it. On the description "https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/UDPAPI.html" is see that the IMAGE should me made on the "Symbol.Extension" file!? This I don`t understand. If I go for the File (F.US.EPH23.scid), how SC will know which TimeFrame of the Chart should be used? I have several Charts for the same Symbol open, which all use the same scid File. If I create a Screenshot by the menu, I get a File Named: "F.US.EPH23 [CBV][M] 1 Min #2 2023-02-16 16_36_32.950.png". This means I did a Screenshot of the 1 Min Chart of F.US.EPH23 and it is the #2 chart defined. I would like to be able to request a screenshot of the Symbol and a dedicated Chart Number #2. How should the Request look like? Default Example: IMAGE_REQUEST--ES#.dly--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png IMAGE_REQUEST--F.US.EPH23 [CBV][M] 1 Min #2.scid--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png or IMAGE_REQUEST--F.US.EPH23#2.scid--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png WOuld this be correct, or did I missed I something? thanks regards |

Hello, I try but without real success. All my test with the Chart Number does not work. SierraChart tries to start always a new Chart with a Symbol not found. A screenshot will be made from this new Chart. If I send the "IMAGE_REQUEST--F.US.EPH23.scid--640--480--20--C:/temp/image.png" than SC starts a new Chart with the correct Symbol. If a Chartbook is active/visible which is using the F.US.EPH23 already than the resolution of one of this Chart will be set to 640x480. Maybe it is not possible what i am looking for: I do work with different Chartbooks, one for each Symbol. In each Chartbook I have 5 Charts (Daily, 15Min, 1Min and so on) open. I would like to get a screenshot from one of these Charts within the Chartbook by sending the UDP Image Request. To go more details: In case I open a Trade or get a fill, a system behind sends a UPD Requests to my SierraChart system. take a screenshot from Chart#1 of F.US.EPH23 20 Candle 640x480 Filename1 take a screenshot from Chart#2 of F.US.EPH23 20 Candle 640x480 Filename2 take a screenshot from Chart#3 of F.US.EPH23 20 Candle 640x480 Filename3 And without changing the resolution of the Chart(s). Is this possible? In the past I used settings with Multi Instances of SC, but on a Client Instances the Market Depth, which is use, is not available. Additional the Shortkey Navigation like in Chartbooks, which I use, is not available. Thanks for you answer best regards |
