If I call sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference() with "OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad = 0;" it will open the new chart windows correctly. If I call it with something like 250, it will keep loading the same chart windows over and over again until SC is closed. I'm using ung and ugaz as the 2 test symbols with historical/daily bars. They open fine if I do it manually. I simplified the code for testing and is shown below. The sprintf debug output is below the code. //code is inside "if(sc.Index == 0)" and is only run on the first bar.
for(i=0; i<pStockIndexNodeCount; i++) { if(pStockIndexArray[i].Name[0]=='\0') {continue;} //safety OpenChartParameters.Reset(); OpenChartParameters.PriorChartNumber = pStockIndexArray[i].ChartNumber; OpenChartParameters.Symbol = pStockIndexArray[i].Name; //regular string OpenChartParameters.ChartDataType = DAILY_DATA; OpenChartParameters.HistoricalChartBarPeriod = HISTORICAL_CHART_PERIOD_DAYS; OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad = 0; //0=same as calling chart OpenChartParameters.LoadWeekendData = 0; //don't want to see this on daily bars //debug before the call sprintf(debugstr, "Chart Pre: PreCNum=%d Sym=\"%s\" CDType=%d HistBarPd=%d DaysLoad=%d Wkend=%d", OpenChartParameters.PriorChartNumber, OpenChartParameters.Symbol.GetChars(), OpenChartParameters.ChartDataType, OpenChartParameters.HistoricalChartBarPeriod, OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad, OpenChartParameters.LoadWeekendData); debug_PrintStringToFile(debugstr); pStockIndexArray[i].ChartNumber = sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference(OpenChartParameters); //debug after the call sprintf(debugstr, "Chart Post: PreCNum=%d Sym=\"%s\" CDType=%d HistBarPd=%d DaysLoad=%d Wkend=%d CNum=%d", OpenChartParameters.PriorChartNumber, OpenChartParameters.Symbol.GetChars(), OpenChartParameters.ChartDataType, OpenChartParameters.HistoricalChartBarPeriod, OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad, OpenChartParameters.LoadWeekendData, pStockIndexArray[i].ChartNumber); debug_PrintStringToFile(debugstr); } //end for() This is with "OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad = 0;" and works as expected. Chart Pre: PreCNum=0 Sym="ung" CDType=1 HistBarPd=1 DaysLoad=0 Wkend=0
Chart Post: PreCNum=0 Sym="ung" CDType=1 HistBarPd=1 DaysLoad=4380 Wkend=0 CNum=2 Chart Pre: PreCNum=0 Sym="ugaz" CDType=1 HistBarPd=1 DaysLoad=0 Wkend=0 Chart Post: PreCNum=0 Sym="ugaz" CDType=1 HistBarPd=1 DaysLoad=4380 Wkend=0 CNum=3 This is with "OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad = 250;" and was stopped after a few sets of opens.
