Hello,

I want to convert particular channel to trend line. In order to do this I planned (1) to select the channel, (2) run strategy that (2a) deletes the channel and (2b) creates trend line with particular parameters and finally (3) stop the strategy. Sometimes it is not easy confirm that there is selected the right object (for example time frame change might be necessary), thus I would rather prefer select the object before run the code than listen to chart object selection. I do not know how to recognize object that had been selected before strategy was run. Would you suggest me something?

Regards,
Fxer

Hello!

Unfortunately there is no functionality that allows you to get chart objects selected before strategy run.

Maybe something like that can solve the problem:
1. Run strategy
2. Strategy adds listener to all object on all charts
3. Needed object is manually selected and gets processed by listener as needed

Here is example:

public class SelectedObjectExample extends ChartObjectAdapter implements IStrategy {

    private IContext context;
    private IConsole console;

    public void onStart(IContext context) throws JFException {
        this.context = context;
        this.console = context.getConsole();

        for (IChart chart : context.getCharts()) {
            for (IChartObject chartObject : chart.getAll()) {
                chartObject.setChartObjectListener(this);
            }
        }                
    }
    
    @Override
    public void selected(ChartObjectEvent e) {
        IChartObject object = (IChartObject) e.getSource();
        console.getOut().println(object);
    }

    @Override
    public void onAccount(IAccount account) throws JFException {
    }

    @Override
    public void onMessage(IMessage message) throws JFException {
    }

    @Override
    public void onStop() throws JFException {
    }

    @Override
    public void onTick(Instrument instrument, ITick tick) throws JFException {
    }

    @Override
    public void onBar(Instrument instrument, Period period, IBar askBar, IBar bidBar) throws JFException {
    }
}
