Hi,
I'm trying to retrieve the price values of a User Drawn Tool, for eg., a Pitchfork. I can get the Date/Time from DrawingObject.BeginDateTime etc but I cant seem to get the price values using DrawingObject.BeginValue. I'm using the sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(...) function.
I'd really appreciate if somebody could please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

Here is a code example which should help:
  
  if (sc.GetUserDrawnChartDrawing(0, DRAWING_UNKNOWN, ChartDrawing, -1) > 0)
  {
    SCString BeginDateTimeString = sc.FormatDateTime(ChartDrawing.BeginDateTime);
    SCString EndDateTimeString = sc.FormatDateTime(ChartDrawing.EndDateTime);
    SCString Msg;
    Msg.Format("Details of last Chart Drawing on chart: BeginDateTime=%s, EndDateTime=%s, BeginValue=%f, EndValue=%f."
, BeginDateTimeString.GetChars(), EndDateTimeString.GetChars(), ChartDrawing.BeginValue, ChartDrawing.EndValue);
    
    sc.AddMessageToLog(Msg, 1);
  }
