Hi everyone, Does anyone know if there's a script which would allow me to select multiple objects such as trendlines, rectangles, etc and change on which timeframe they're visible on? Because the way MT4 currently is, you have to manually change every single object: {image}

string MPrefix="";
int OnInit() {

if (Period() < 60 || Period()>240)
{
//Comment("Invalid timeframe selected");

ObjectsDeleteAll();
DL("001", "Invalid timeframe", 250, 50,Red,"Arial",21,0);
return(0);
}

//-----------------------------------------------------------------------

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| DL function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void DL(string label, string text, int x, int y, color clr, string FontName = "Arial",int FontSize = 12, int typeCorner = 1)

{
string labelIndicator = MPrefix + label;
if (ObjectFind(labelIndicator) == -1)
{
ObjectCreate(labelIndicator, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
}

ObjectSet(labelIndicator, OBJPROP_CORNER, typeCorner);
ObjectSet(labelIndicator, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, x);
ObjectSet(labelIndicator, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, y);
ObjectSetText(labelIndicator, text, FontSize, FontName, clr);

Don't know if it's from any interest but here is my "Drawing Toolbox" with many options. I also use rectangles a lot (see red and blue rectangle objects on the chart) - when you click with the mouse one rectangle objects in the panel (marked yellow) a rectangle object is added to the chart "somewhere". I've included input options so you can set hotkeys for any object from the panel - so I've set letter "A" to a rectangle (red) as hotkey shortcut for example and letter "B" to the 2nd rectangle object and now I simply hover the mouse over the chart...
Thanks a million SIR!! you have saved me countless hours of ticking the visibility and the rectangle colour. I love it ...one thing if you don't mind me asking could you also make as an input parameter when loading the indicator what is written in it's description? so you have now the TF visibility as a default and is cool but i use diferent names for the levels. Thank you in advance.

l.e. Not sure if bug or this is how it was meant..if a certain rectangle has the option of extending with to present, even if i modify it's ending date after it has been drawn...when i draw a new object/rectangle it extends all of them to the present (this doesn't happen to canvas objects)

Thank you

Please test latest version v1.03
- added a new parameter for the object description (default blank - which means the visible timeframes are shown like it was in prev version)

Clarification: When you set expand to YES for an object that means the object will be expanded on going (on every new bar, ....)!!!

Until now every object which had expand set to yes was modified to end at the actual bar (time[0]+ExtendRightOffset parameter) when the chart was changed, a new bar comes in etc.
=> I changed that so it only gets expanded when the acutal object end is smaller than time[0]+ExtendRightOffset parameter.

So when you manually expand an object end far into the future this object end is not "cutted" anymore back to present/latest bar (time[0]+ExtendRightOffset parameter)

Thank you for your time creating this great indicator.
I create a rectangle this I move it to the place I want and well, but when you add another rectangle it moves them all to one place.
Attach images, I hope you understand. Thanks a lot.

Your shown rectangle have Canvas set to true - so these are "built graphic/bitmap objects" and not comparable to a drawn mt4 standard rectangle object for example which you can click and drag/widen it/... after you created it.

So I think you have set "Extend on new bar" to these canvas objects to YES - this means on every new bar/chart change these canvas graphics are drawn new with the originally start date/time and end time at the actual/latest bar. This describes your "problem" I think.

So two choices for you:
1) Don't draw the rectangles per click on the panel and move it afterwards to your desired position but use the set keyboard shortcut for that (default "A" for example)
So you hover with your mouse pointer exactly to the chart region where the rectangle should start and simply press "A" - the rectangle is drawn exactly on that place!

2) when you don't want to use the hotkey (there is no reason for me to don't use it ) you have to set "Extend on new bar" to NO

Hey Jagg!

when you have some time ..would you be kind enough to add 3 more rectangles and 3 more lines and the following inputs?:



- the posibility of adding a shortcut for "toogle" object description
- the posibility of adding a predefined length ( in periods of the timeframe that they are drawn ) for the horizontal lines and rectangles?

Thanks a Million
