Can anyone support me to use this function?

New comment
 

Hi,

I really wanted to use this function written by "RaptorUK", but i am still getting error.

I am not expert with ObjectLabel, but i tried my best to display objects on screen, too much of line i wrote.

so i would like to use CommentLab

her eis the code:

void CommentLab(string CommentText)   
  {
   string CommentLabel;
   int CommentIndex = 0;
   
   if (CommentText == "")
      {
      //  delete all Comment texts
      while(ObjectFind(StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex )) >= 0)
         {
         ObjectDelete(StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex ));
         CommentIndex++;
         }
      return;
      }
   
   while(ObjectFind(StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex )) >= 0)
      {
      CommentIndex++;
      }
      
   CommentLabel = StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex);  
   ObjectCreate(CommentLabel, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0 );
   ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
   ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 5);
   ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 15 + (CommentIndex * 15) );
   ObjectSetText(CommentLabel, CommentText, 10, "Tahoma", Status_Color );   
   
   }

I declared Status_Color as Global variable string

Please advice me to use the above function correctly. so that i can call this function as much as i want to use. currently i write line by line too much, so its lacking memory and speed.

Thanks in Advance.

 

Hi, sheriffonline.

The right "Status_Color" global variable type is "color".

color Status_Color = clrRed;

Hi, sheriffonline.

Thanks evetonbg. i declared "Status_Color" as you mentioned. but still shows 2 warnings?

warnings:

'CommentLab' - expression on global scope not allowed
Function "CommentLab" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file

Code I used:

#include <stdlib.mqh>
#include <WinUser32.mqh>

// exported variables

color Status_Color = Red;


int init()
{
   
}

// Expert start
int start()
{
   
    
}



void CommentLab(string CommentText)
{
    string CommentLabel;
    int CommentIndex = 0;
       
    if (CommentText == "")
    {
        //  delete all Comment texts
        while(ObjectFind(StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex )) >= 0)
        {
            ObjectDelete(StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex ));
            CommentIndex++;
        }
        return;
    }
       
    while(ObjectFind(StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex )) >= 0)
    {
        CommentIndex++;
    }
          
    CommentLabel = StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex);  
    ObjectCreate(CommentLabel, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0 );
    ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_CORNER, 0);
    ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 5);
    ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 115 + (CommentIndex * 15) );
    ObjectSetText(CommentLabel, CommentText, 10, "Tahoma", Status_Color );   
       
}

CommentLab("This is testing");



int deinit()
{
    if (false) ObjectsDeleteAll();
  
}

No text displayed on chart while i run EA

 

You really need to start googling some of your questions, as they have been asked many times.

Start by searching Google for "expression on global scope not allowed".

The warning: "Function "CommentLab" is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file" is fairly self-explanatory, but again a Google search of "is not referenced and will be removed from exp-file" will lead you to your solutions.

Or this 
void CommentLab(string CommentText)
{
    :       
}

CommentLab("This is testing");  <<<< Expression on global scope

int deinit()
{
    :
}

    {
        //  delete all Comment texts
        return;
    }
       
          
    CommentLabel = StringConcatenate("CommentLabel", CommentIndex);  
    ObjectCreate(CommentLabel, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0 );
    ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_CORNER, Corner);
    ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, XDistance);
    ObjectSet(CommentLabel, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, YDistance);
    ObjectSetText(CommentLabel, CommentText, Font_Size, Font_Name, Color_Status );
