Returns a numerical value, indicating an object ID number of the oldest (the first to be added to the current chart) text object of the specified origin.

Text_GetFirst returns a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

Usage

Text_GetFirst(Origin)

Parameters

Origin - a numerical expression specifying the origin of the text object:
1 - added by the current study,
2 - added by a study other then the current study, or drawn manually by the user,
3 - added by any study, or drawn manually by the user,
4 - added by the current study, or drawn manually by the user,
5 - added by a study other then the current study,
6 - added by any study,
7 - added manually by the user.

Notes

  • If the oldest (the first added) text object is deleted, the next oldest (the second added) text object becomes the oldest (the first added) text object.
  • Use Text_GetNext to get a specific text object on the chart.

Example

Assign a value, indicating an object ID number of the oldest text object added to the chart by the current study, to Value1 variable:

Value1 = Text_GetFirst(1);
