Based on the type of a study different actions are to be taken. Therefore I'm looking to identify a study. Outside of ACSIL in the "Studies to Graph" panel I can see the short name, the original name, as well as the S_ID. But inside ACSIL so far I figured only out how to get the short name, which does not tell me which study I found. This is important to know when planning to make adjustments via ACSIL to the study inputs. Either options (Type: 1=short, 2=orig, 3=s_id) for the existing functions to allow which name to deliver are needed, sc.GetStudyName(int StudyIndex, int Type) sc.GetStudyNameFromChart(int ChartNumber, int StudyID, int Type) sc.GetStudyNameUsingID(unsigned int StudyID, int Type) sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier(int ChartNumber, int StudyID, int Type, SCString& r_StudyName) or new functions specific to the request e.g. sc.GetStudyName() // for the original name sc.GetStudyShortName() // for the short name sc.GetStudySID() // for the S_ID Please advise, Thanks |

Doesn't this always give the actual sc.GraphName of a study? sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier() It was added in v2484 as was https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Functions.html#scGetBuiltInStudyName. Both seem to be lacking more details about their usage or examples. |

In my test sc.GetStudyInternalIdentifier() also returned the short name. Also that is one of the functions which is poorly documented. |

I updated to the latest version 2586 64-bit revision 48734M and wrote a little test study. The attached screen shot shows the studies I've on my chart, and below is the result of using the different functions. All of them return the Short Name if set. i=0 GetStudyName=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 GetStudyNameFromChart=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 GetStudyNameUsingID=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 GetStudyInternalIdentifier=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 i=1 GetStudyName=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 Heikin-Ashi GetStudyNameFromChart=Time Range Highlight GetStudyNameUsingID=Time Range Highlight GetStudyInternalIdentifier=Time Range Highlight i=2 GetStudyName=Time Range Highlight GetStudyNameFromChart=Time Range Highlight GetStudyNameUsingID=Time Range Highlight GetStudyInternalIdentifier=Time Range Highlight i=3 GetStudyName=Time Range Highlight GetStudyNameFromChart=HULL fast GetStudyNameUsingID=HULL fast GetStudyInternalIdentifier=HULL fast i=4 GetStudyName=HULL fast GetStudyNameFromChart=HULL slow GetStudyNameUsingID=HULL slow GetStudyInternalIdentifier=HULL slow i=5 GetStudyName=HULL slow GetStudyNameFromChart=SIG 1 GetStudyNameUsingID=SIG 1 GetStudyInternalIdentifier=SIG 1 i=6 GetStudyName=SIG 1 GetStudyNameFromChart=SIG 2 GetStudyNameUsingID=SIG 2 GetStudyInternalIdentifier=SIG 2 i=7 GetStudyName=SIG 2 GetStudyNameFromChart=ATR GetStudyNameUsingID=ATR GetStudyInternalIdentifier=ATR i=8 GetStudyName=ATR GetStudyNameFromChart= GetStudyNameUsingID= GetStudyInternalIdentifier= i=9 GetStudyName=SIG 2 TH LONG GetStudyNameFromChart=SIG 2 TH LONG GetStudyNameUsingID=SIG 2 TH LONG GetStudyInternalIdentifier=SIG 2 TH LONG i=10 GetStudyName=SIG 2 TH SHORT GetStudyNameFromChart=SIG 2 TH SHORT GetStudyNameUsingID=SIG 2 TH SHORT GetStudyInternalIdentifier=SIG 2 TH SHORT i=11 GetStudyName=Test GetStudyName GetStudyNameFromChart=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 Heikin-Ashi GetStudyNameUsingID=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 Heikin-Ashi GetStudyInternalIdentifier=MESH24_FUT_CME [CBV][M] 1000 Volume #1 Heikin-Ashi i=12 GetStudyName= GetStudyNameFromChart=Test GetStudyName GetStudyNameUsingID=Test GetStudyName GetStudyInternalIdentifier=Test GetStudyName SCSFExport scsf_TestGetStudyName(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { SCString MesTxt; if (sc.SetDefaults) { // Set the configuration and defaults sc.GraphName = "Test GetStudyName"; sc.StudyDescription = "Testing functions to retrieve study names.
