I want to draw a rectangle that extents to the end of the right side of the chart. So I am using the Drawing Tool and setting the parameters: Tool.DrawingType = DRAWING_RECTANGLE_EXT_HIGHLIGHT; Tool.EndDateTime = 150; It appears to be working properly when the BeginDateTime value is in view of the chart. But if I scroll left, where BeginDateTime is no longer in the chart view, the Rectangle will then be drawn across the entire chart. Is there a way to defeat this behavior (not draw the rectangle)?

In this particular case, Tool.EndDateTime needs to be set to an actual bar Date-Time. It should be at a time that is about 10 bars forward from the Begin Date Time. Although the exact amount does not matter. As long as it is at least one or two bars forward. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.
