Hi, I have implemented the "Playsound function" in my study. It makes a sound every time there is a setup. Because I load several days worth of data, the alert sounds queue up and are played when the chart is loaded. I would like only the alert to play if it occurs in the last 2 bars drawn on the chart. How do I determine this? Is there a LastBarOnChart Number or something I can reference? Then I can see if the sc.Index is within a few bars of the last bar charted on the chart. In Easylangauge they have a "isLasBarOnChart" value, so I can do things like that. Not sure how to approach this problem here.. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. |

I get a constant beepish sound, rather than my file being played... I am using this line: sc.PlaySoundW("c:\\!TradeAlert_Sounds\QCL.Long"); I look for sc.PlaySound, which is documented, but I am only seeing the PlaySoundW somehow... |

Hi, I corrected the string, it plays the right sound message, but it keeps repeating... i put this in to make it not play on historical, but still keeps playing over and over if (sc.DownloadingHistoricalData == 0) sc.PlaySound("c:\\!TradeAlert_Sounds\\QCL_Long.wav"); |

I tried this and it seems to work.... Let me know if this is a correct way of doing it please. I figured I only needed the first condition, but I added another condition and then it seems to work ok. if ( (sc.DownloadingHistoricalData == 0) && (sc.Index > sc.ArraySize -5) ) { sc.PlaySound("c:\\!TradeAlert_Sounds\\QCL_Long.wav", 1); } |
