Indicator button ON/OFF sometimes don't work

For some reason the buttons are not working.
This has been happening from time to time with different studies. The only way to solve it is to remove the study from the chart and add it again... until it happens again.

Hello arnie,

We were unable to replicate this behavior on our end using MultiCharts 9.0 Beta 3 and Release Candidate. Please create a new chart window from scratch and try to replicate this behavior. If you are still able to replicate it - please send me the workspace and step by step instructions or come to our live chat to demonstrate it remotely.

Sure, but this is the second chart I create since the previous one did the exactly same thing. The buttons stop working.

I actually don't even need to create a new chart.
I just need to delete those studies from that chart, plot new ones and the buttons work perfectly.
Question is if tomorrow they continue to work.

I'll keep you informed if they stop working again

Hello Arnie / Henry

May I ask if the indicator button is a new feature for regular MC next version.
If so, nice. I had design button using mouseclick event, but not not yet satisfied with the result

Hey Martin

If I'm not mistaken the button was introduced in version 7(?)
Everytime you have a study plotted you have the option to switch on/off

Hello again

Still not found how to get a button to enable / disable an indicator

Could you explain how you get them?
Is it for MC.Net or the regular version?

Button will be very useful for me. I want to use it...

A good evening
Martin

plot any indicator on a chart.

put your mouse on top of the indicator name in the status line and you'll see a "box" appear around the name. Click it. It will switch off the indicator. Click again and will switch on.

Go to File > Preferences > Charting and check Enable indicator status switch...

It seems you'll need to delete the studies from the charts and plot them again so the the switch become active after checking it.
