Is there a way to select one of my charts and do a control-c to be able to copy the ticker the chart has open? Is there a study that might enable this or is it possible to do using ACSIL?

I was able to write a script that saves the ticker to a text file and i can use other apps to get the ticker. However the file just constantly updates what whichever chart the study is on. Does anyone know of a way I can force this script to run only when i want it to. Maybe something like stamping a marker on the chart will tell it to export that ticker symbol to the file. #include "sierrachart.h"
SCDLLName("CopyTickerToClipboardDLL") // This line names your DLL SCSFExport scsf_CopyTickerSymbolToFile(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { if (sc.SetDefaults) { sc.GraphName = "Copy Ticker Symbol To File"; sc.StudyDescription = "Writes the chart's ticker symbol to a text file."; sc.GraphRegion = 0; sc.UpdateAlways = false; sc.AutoLoop = false; return; } // Main code execution SCString tickerSymbol = sc.Symbol; // Specify the path to the text file SCString filePath = "C:\\SierraChart\\SierraChartInstance_2\\SymbolOutput.txt"; // Open file stream std::ofstream outputFile(filePath.GetChars(), std::ios::out); if(outputFile.is_open()) { outputFile << tickerSymbol.GetChars(); outputFile.close(); // Optionally, log to Sierra Chart Message Log SCString logMessage; logMessage.Format("Ticker Symbol %s written to file.", tickerSymbol.GetChars()); sc.AddMessageToLog(logMessage, 0); } } |

To answer your last question, refer to: Advanced Custom Study Interaction With Menus, Control Bar Buttons, Pointer Events Your ACSIL function can also copy it to the Windows clipboard.
