I need my code to affect some trendline created by an indicator, but not the trendline created by another one.

How can I get the Origin of a trend line? I know that I could use the TL_Getfirst(Origin) and loop but is there a way to find it directly?

Is MC-64 can affect Excel 32?

Hello I can't load MS Excel Office 32 after modifying my MC database location. Excel is trying to load the 64 version.

Re: Erase all drawing: Why does it erase the "Lock Drawing"

Did post on project management about that

I suggest to have MC ask "Do you want to erase this locked drawing object" before erasing them.
Again, if we lock them it is probably to keep them until manually erasing them

Erase all drawing: Why does it erase the "Lock Drawing" one

Hello

I'm using for the first time the function to erase all drawing and to lock one.

I think the "erase all drawing" should kept the locked one. If we locked it, it's because we want to keep it.
