Hello,

I am using candle charts & was wondering if there was a way to add additional detail to the text popup for each candle. I can see the Open, High, Low & Close. I would like to also see for example the range.

Thanks,
Sameer

It is not possible.

Thanks Eugene. I guess I could use annotatebar. Is there a way to display a calculated value in annotatebar instead of text.

for example this is what I have

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.

but I get a error message cannot convert from double to string.

Regards,
Sameer

Use the standard .NET way of converting:
ToString Method (Double)

Another possibility is to call Bars.FormatValue (please see it in the QuickRef).

Thanks Eugene,

The conversion worked, but I see a lot of digits after the decimal point. Is there a way to only see a certain length displayed.

This is what the Bars.FormatValue property is used for (see above).

Alternatively, think .NET and use the many custom number/DateTime formatting options available:

String Format for Double
String Formatting in C#
