IndicatorArea problem
29 Feb 2024, 19:04

hello

What is the problem with the following code?

Nothing is displayed in my chart

The IndicatorArea command does not work anymore

using cAlgo.API;

namespace ChartControlsTest
{
    [Indicator(IsOverlay = false, AccessRights = AccessRights.None)]
    public class ChartControls : Indicator
    {
        [Parameter(DefaultValue = "Click Me")]
        public string Text { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = HorizontalAlignment.Center)]
        public HorizontalAlignment HorizontalAlignment { get; set; }

        [Parameter(DefaultValue = VerticalAlignment.Center)]
        public VerticalAlignment VerticalAlignment { get; set; }

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            var button = new Button
            {
                Text = Text,
                HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment,
                VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment
            };

            button.Click += Button_Click;

            IndicatorArea.AddControl(button);
        }

        private void Button_Click(ButtonClickEventArgs obj)
        {
            obj.Button.Text = "You clicked me, thanks";
        }

        public override void Calculate(int index)
        {
        }
    }
}

When I run the indicator for the first time, nothing is displayed to me.
To solve the problem, the ctrader must be closed once and opened again. Or should change the profile to show the button.
This problem did not exist until a few months ago. This problem appeared with the new program update

Can you record a video demonstrating these steps?

I installed the previous version of the program (4.1) from the help centre. In this version, there was no problem in running the indicator.
In version 4.8, running the indicator is accompanied by a lot of lag. But in version 4.1, the indicator opens very quickly and has no lag. In general, the speed of the software is much higher than version 4.8.
Are these problems that I mentioned above only related to my system? Does it mean that problems can be solved by installing a specific file?
Or is the problem with the new version?

Best regards

Hi Amin,

It looks like a bug in the newer version.
