I am always switching between the 2 since the hand doesn't consistently show the CTV window and there is no crosshair which makes it hard to pinpoint the correct bar.

It seems like it would be easy to combine them or at least add the combined functionality to one or the other? in any case could just eliminate both if you create a combined tool which would simplify the tools.

A new tool with 'mouse button click and hold' gives the hand function to move chart and 'basic mouse button click' gives the crosshair so makes it easier to use the CTV window.

thanks

This is already supported.

You will need to go to Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_Tools.html#ChartValuesToolSettings

And set the drop down in the lower left to either:
Always On When Using Other Tools

Or:
Always Enabled When Using Other Tools


From the documentation:
The difference between this (Always Enabled When Using Other Tools) option and Always On When Using Other Tools is that the Chart Values tool does not actually become active until the Drawing Tool becomes active when you left click the Pointer and begin the Chart Drawing.
