Using Drawing Tools From an Advanced Custom Study: s_UseTool::DrawingType s_UseTool::LineStyle Type: Integer The line style for the chart drawing. Available line styles are: LINESTYLE_SOLID, LINESTYLE_DASH, LINESTYLE_DOT, LINESTYLE_DASHDOT, and LINESTYLE_DASHDOTDOT. When I try to use an int variable to set the tool.LineStyle the compiler throws an error. 1>F:\- John's Personal Stock stuff\Sierra Chart Stuff\JOR_Custom_Studies\JOR_Custom_Studies_Collection\JOR_Custom_Studies_Collection.cpp(2806,49): error C2440: '=': cannot convert from 'int' to 'SubgraphLineStyles' 1>F:\- John's Personal Stock stuff\Sierra Chart Stuff\JOR_Custom_Studies\JOR_Custom_Studies_Collection\JOR_Custom_Studies_Collection.cpp(2806,48): message : Conversion to enumeration type requires an explicit cast (static_cast, C-style cast or parenthesized function-style cast) even using the drawing object structure I just read and getting the JOR_DrawingObj.LevelStyle[x] throws an error Only using your enumerations will compile. DGL_Tool.LineStyle = JOR_LevelStyle[looper]; DGL_Tool.LineStyle = JOR_DrawingObj.LevelStyle[looper]; DGL_Tool.LineStyle = LINESTYLE_SOLID; definitions above error code // Set or reset variables used to hold properties of pitchfork float JOR_Levels[32] = { FLT_MAX }; COLORREF JOR_LevelColor[32] = { 0 }; int JOR_LevelWidth[32] = { 0 }; int JOR_LevelStyle[32] = { 0 }; // Get values from drawing object instance for (int looper = 0; looper < 32; looper++) { JOR_Levels[looper] = JOR_DrawingObj.RetracementLevels[looper]; JOR_LevelColor[looper] = JOR_DrawingObj.LevelColor[looper]; JOR_LevelWidth[looper] = JOR_DrawingObj.LevelWidth[looper]; JOR_LevelStyle[looper] = JOR_DrawingObj.LevelStyle[looper]; Guidance please JohnR Update - I also took a stab a making it an explicit static cast. The compile gave different errors. SubgraphLineStyles DGL_Tool.LineStyle = static_cast<SubgraphLineStyles>(JOR_LevelStyle[looper]); Update 2 - I am able to compile - I corrected the static cast line DGL_Tool.LineStyle = static_cast<SubgraphLineStyles>(JOR_LevelStyle[looper]); Date Time Of Last Edit: 2022-11-09 16:24:48
