Tooltip modification


Hello again,

After creating an object on the chart, MT allows you to view the values of the object by putting your cursor over it... displaying the yellow box with the values.

Microsoft languages call this a "Tooltip".

Is there a way to modify the content of the "Tooltip"?

I would like to change the content, and if possible, disable some.

I appreciate all the help!

text - Some text.
font_size - Font size in points.
font - Font name.
text_color - Text color.

Sample:

ObjectSetText("text_object", "Hello world!", 10, "Times New Roman", Green);

Yes UR right. But I thought the question was about toltip with no object , just standard toltip window with OHLC information.

Oh thanks!

I've created a custom indicator, and I want to offset my support and resistance arrows by n pips... but I want to report the actual value... this should let me do it.

Sorry about the confusion with the tooltip... I appreciates all replies!
