[Programming Help] - having some numbers in a grid where i want them...

Hi guys,

Can you help please?

I would like to build a table/grid style floating/fixed chart/graphic that i can drop/add/make visible in my existing chart that makes certain data visible to me all in one place.

I have attached an example screenshot showing footprint with VbP right aligned.

I have roughly sketched a 2x3 grid that i may want to upscale to say 6x4. I have placed the table/grid roughly in the position i would like to see it.

I would want the 2x3, for example, to show key DOM information e.g. column 1 trades on offer/bid as on DOM and circled in white; column 2 numbers being pulled/stacked on offer/bid as on DOM and circled in green; column 3 would be for an actual total of resting offers/bids on the book to whatever level i select not shown here on DOM but to whatever number i set up on my DOM.

The table should rest on the mid price line (so the line separating the upper row and lower row will always rest on mid-price). This will mean OFFER data is at the top and BID data is at the bottom.

It would be nice if could customise the colours of numbers and backgrounds particularly when they reach alert levels.

It would be nice if could add both individual and combination audible alerts when those alert conditions are met.

I am hoping there is existing technology to allow me to do this - please provide relevant links to the relevant instructions so i can go about building please.

If this not currently possible would you be kind enough to assist to make this possible please?

Thanks very much for your support.

Best regards,

Benz

This is definitely possible. you'll need to use the ACSIL GDI support for this. take a look at the GDIExample in the ACS_SOURCE folder.

you'll want to read the windows GDI documentation too.

Working with fonts and drawing stuff can be kinda a pain in the butt. I made a few functions that make this a bit easier, so DM me if you're interested
