Blocks of Transparent colour

Hello,

Could anyone give me the code to print a block of transparet colour on the screen between two time and price levels, I've seen it done but can't find out how. Any help much appreciated,

Thanks,

Nigel.

In the Init() function. Substitute your own variable for SessionColour.

ObjectCreate("IBSession", OBJ_RECTANGLE, 0, 0,0, 0,0);
ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_COLOR, SessionColour);
ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_STYLE, STYLE_SOLID);
ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_BACK, True);


In the Start() function. You can substitute your own variables for timeVal1, timeVal2, highVal and lowVal.

ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_TIME1 , timeVal1);
ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_PRICE1, highVal);
ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_TIME2 , timeVal2);
ObjectSet("IBSession", OBJPROP_PRICE2, lowVal);


Hope I didn't leave anything out, but when you extracting code from several lines of a program that can happen.

OBJPROP_BACK should be false to get a transparent block. it's the same with uncheck "Draw object as background" on rectangle properties.

That is actual working code and I think I got it from MQL4.com.

Many thanks everyone,

Nigel.
