Hello Support Team, we need to attach alert sounds permanentely to Vertical Lines to receive sound alerts on specific times. These vertical lines are supposed being part of a template visualizing and alerting upcoming economic news publications. 1.) On using Menu >> Tools >> Tool Configs >> Vertical Line Config there is no alert option. Question 1: Would you consider adding the alert option to Tool Configs >> Vertical Line Config in a future version of SC? 2.) Applying Rightclick on Vertical Line >> Vertical Line Properties >> Button A >> Enable Alert For Chart Drawing + Alert Once Per Bar + Open + Equal to it is possible to attach an alert to Vertical Line. Unfortunately this vertical line cannot be used twice (or as an template) since the alert would not reliable be triggered on moving it to the right of the actual bar (sometimes it seems to work, more often not). Question 2: Is it possible to use a Vertical Line and its attached alert as a preconfigured tool in order not having to create a new Vertical Line from scratch for every single news? Is there anything we might miss? Thank you for your consideration, Best, Chris |

In ver 1176, a number of Alert items are addressed: * vertical line config will allow alerts to be configured * the Alert Once and Blink Once Per Bar Options were made more reliable * Alerts are re-allowed if the drawing is moved or adjusted (does not apply if Only Trigger Once is enabled and was triggered) Also, there already is a toolbar option that allows custom tools to be configured. A custom tool is a Drawing Tool and Drawing Tool Config pair. When customizing a toolbar, under the Tools tree, there are entries for Custom Drawing Tool N. Add one of these to your toolbar. Then re-customize the toolbar and select the custom tool entry you just added in the Selected ToolBar Commands list, and then use the Set Custom Tool ... button to configure the Tool, Tool Config, Button Text, etc. Using this new ToolBar button will be the same as selecting the configured Tool and Tool Config in a single mouse click. |
