Filled Rectangles in MT4

New comment
 
Hello lads, so i have been trying to get this to work via Meta Editor but i am no coder so as you might have guessed, i haven't been successful at all. Does anyone have any idea how to make it so that the rectangles in MT4 are filled with colour?
 

OBJPROP_FILL

OBJPROP_FILL

 

But where do i do that? mind guiding me?
 

Sure, post up your code that creates the rectangle and I'll show you where it goes.

did that and it still doesn't work. When I check ''draw object as background'' the whole thing becomes transparent and disappears, but when i leave it unchecked, the shape is still empty :/
 
  1. Don't paste code
    Play video    		Please edit your post.
    For large amounts of code, attach it.
  2. compare your post
    jakubdonovan36: It still doesn't work.
    //   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_FILL,clrGray);  LINE ?
    with my suggestion.

      ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_FILL,true);  LINE 1
    You say to fill it, but don't set what color to fill. From ObjectSetInteger - MQL4 Documentation
    ObjectSetInteger(0,name,OBJPROP_COLOR,clrBlack);         LINE 2
