Hi, according to the following link, it's possible to change a study's input value from the chart. I'd like to do this from a custom ACSIL study rather than the keyboard. Is there a native Sierra Chart function that can send text to the study chart's window (regardless of its state:active,inactive,not visible)? Or do I need to use something like the C++ SendMessage?

There is a very direct way to do this from a custom study. Refer to:
sc.SetChartStudyInputFloat()

There are also two other functions for integers and strings.

Just a quick follow-up question. I see the above will work for studies, how about for Intraday Bar Periods accessed from the 'Chart Settings' dialog box? For example, let's say I have a 1000 volume bar chart that I'd like to change to a 2500 volume bar chart from within a custom ACSIL study.

Many thanks!!
