Cursor Window Values

[gspiker]

I don't think there is a way to do this, but I wanted to verify.

Is there a way to set values in the cursor window without doing a return() statement with those values? I know you can set a title, but I also want to set a value.

I would guess if worse came to worse I could set a title and put a few spaces in and then set the value in the same title field...but that would mean more work for me as I would have to figure out somehow where the mouse is and then set the title accordingly.

Any ideas?

I believe there is. Jay had found and posted a solution but I can't find it at this time

I don't think that is possible, Garth.

btw, I was looking for the opposite, doing a return new Array and not
showing all the values in the cursor window, for example,

return new Array(x,x)

where the plotstyle, 1 is line and plotstyle, 2 is histogram. Creates a
histogram with an outline.

So I only want to show x one time in the cursor window.

Thanks Alex!

That is an ingenious work around - that Jay guy sure is smart. It is counting on error trapping in the charts portion of eSignal (hey, that's a string...I can't display a string on a chart...lets ignore it) that must not be part of the cursor window (in fact maybe eSignal converts numbers to strings before displaying in the cursor window).

I like it...would have never thought of it.

David,

I have never tried it, but does setShowCursorLabel() do what you want?

Hello Garth,

Unfortunately, setShowCursorLabel() is a show all or none option. It has been suggested to add the array number parameter so we could do setShowCursorLabel(false, 0); and setShowCursorLabel(true, 1). Wouldn't hurt to throw another vote in the hat ([email protected]).

I just voted to have setShowCursorLabel(false, 0) and
setShowCursorLabel(true, 1). ; added as a feature, thx

Another vote sent to ideas.

Yes, it would be nice if it worked as advertised in the Help file.

setShowCursorLabel( bShow, nCount )

bShow: true or false.
nCount: Optional. If your study returns multiple values, specify the return value here.

Thanks Jason!

I also sent in my vote...even if I don't need it yet, it just makes sense to do it. All the other cursor label stuff works that way.
