TL_SetStyle
Assigns the specified style to a trendline with the specified ID number; returns a value of 0 if the trendline style was successfully assigned, and a value of -2 if the specified trendline ID number is invalid.
Usage
TL_SetStyle(TL_ID,TL_Style)
Parameters
TL_ID - a numerical expression specifying the trendline ID number
TL_Style - a TL style constant or a numerical expression specifying the trendline style as follows:
Tool_Solid 1 ______________________
Tool_Dashed 2 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Tool_Dotted 3 ............................................
Tool_Dashed2 4 __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __ _ __
Tool_Dashed3 5 ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___ _ _ ___
Notes
A trendline-specific ID number is returned by TL_New when the trendline is created.
Example
Set the style of the trendline with an ID number of 3 to Tool Dashed:
Value1=TL_SetStyle(3, 2);
Set the style of the trendline with an ID number of 3 to Tool Dashed:
Value1=TL_SetStyle(3, Tool_Dashed);

In the Main MC Wiki page
https://www.multicharts.com/trading-sof ... /Main_Page
you can click on the "PowerLanguage Keyword Reference" to see all the keywords for trend lines.
Also, it took me a while but I figure out that you can search the Wiki with "*Dashed*" or "*Dotted*" and the use of the asterisks will bring up the "TL_SetStyle" command which is the one you use as mentioned above. If you do not include the asterisk character on both sides it does not find the information.
