Post From: Need access to Status Bar

I have developed a number of useful macros for Sierra Chart using AutoHotkey. One of those macros allowed me to place the Chart Value/Crosshair on a bar and then type a hotkey to retrieve the timestamp of the bar and jump to that time for a selected Name Range in the spreadsheet. This is a VERY useful tool for ANY spreadsheet user and should really be added to the core product. In any case, my macro relied on being able to get the timestamp for a bar under the Crosshair from the text in the Status Bar. In the newer versions of Sierra Chart, the Status Bar has been removed and a pop-up Values box displays the information that used to be displayed in the Status Bar. Unfortunately, the pop-up box is not accessible by AutoHotkey. AutoHotkey requires access to a named control or Windows form in order to be able to retrieve the information from that element. Is there any way to re-enable the Status Bar in the newest versions of Sierra Charts? (That would be ideal!) If not, could the Values pop-up box be changed to a Windows form so I can retrieve the timestamp of the selected bar from there using AutoHotkey? |
