Mouse over a bar: Is there a function to capture the info [SOLVED]

Hello

Is there a function to capture the OHLC of a bar when mouse is over it. I tough that MC8 did include this function, but if so, I don't found it.

The goal is to capture bar data using mouseclick event

Martin,

you can use "MouseClickBarNumber" and get the bar values using the Barnumber, but there is nothing that will return all bar values with one click. Only for the date and time of the bar "MouseClickDateTime" offers a direct way.

Hello Chris and others

This code create error Try to reference to a future bar
Also, Mouseclick events seems buggy. Many instance is recorded with a simple click
Once error detected, the indicator is stopped. When tried to restart it, error popup immediatly.
I have seen up to ten popup.

To resolve that, I recompile my code

Code: Select all

[ProcessMouseEvents = True];

Var:



Lastbar (0),

N_ (0),

ClickedBar (0),

Open_ (0),

High_ (0),

Low_ (0),

OHLC_STR (""),

Close_ (0),

Comma ("");



Once begin

    Comma = ",";

end;

   

if lastbaronchart then begin

    

      	OHLC_STR = "";

   	Lastbar = currentbar;

   	ClickedBar =  MouseClickBarNumber ; 

   	N_ = lastbar - ClickedBar;

   

   	Open_  = Open Of N_ Bar ago;

  	High_  = High Of N_ Bar ago;

   	Low_   = Low Of N_ Bar ago;

   	Close_ = Close Of N_ Bar ago;

   

   	OHLC_STR = NumtoStr(Open_,5) + comma + NumtoStr(High_,5) + comma + NumtoStr(Low_,5) + comma + NumtoStr(Close_,5);

    	If OHLC_STR  <> "" then 	Print (OHLC_STR);

end;

The code returned a printed value that was referencing may many bars ago while i was clicking around 30 bars from the last one on charts
