Forcing a chart recalculation within ACSIL

I am using SetStudyVisibilityState(int studyID, int visibleState) to hide/show a study (strangely enough, visibleState set to 1 hides, and 0 shows).

However, the chart requires a recalculate to properly reflect the changes (right now for example, markets are closed, and when I click the custom menu item I have created, the study is not hidden because the chart is not being recalculated).

1) So, how can I force a recalculate from within my code? I have tried setting sc.updateAlways to 1, but that does not seem to have any effect here.

2) If I have a study that uses transparent (inefficient) graphics in another chart being copied to my chart using the study/price overlay study, and if the study/price overlay study is hidden, will I see a performance decrease, even though it is hidden?

3) Is there a way to put a check mark beside a custom menu item created with sc.AddACSChartShortcutMenuItem() to show which item is currently selected?

Thanks for fixing this so quickly. On a related note regarding the SetStudyVisibilityState() function, is there a getStudyVisibilityState(int studyID)? I don't see documentation for it, but I don't see another way to know if the study is visible to begin with, which would be a good thing to know in certain cases.

Just doing a bump on this -- is there a way for me to check from ACSIL code whether a study is currently hidden or visible?

3. Thank you, I have been using this the last few days in my code and it works very well.

4. Even more thank you! Do you know if this will make the next prerelease?
