When using static positioning is there a way to have 2 lines of text using the Drawtext method?

Hi lec0456,

I've been trying as well to be able to place certain variables on a specific place on the chart. Seems at the moment we're bound to TopRight-Left, BottomLeft-Right, and Center. I manage to use a "space" varibale to fit more info into these places. Its a workaround and the best solotion would be a X and Y coordinates for easy layout. Hope a upgrade is coming soon on the Drawtext method, we definitly need it!

 ChartObjects.DrawText("a", "first line\nsecond line", StaticPosition.TopLeft);

Wow, Thanks algotrader!  That worked like a charm.  I could have sworn I tried that but I must have had the backslash instead of the forward slash.  Thanks again
