ObjectSetText value as whole number.

New comment
 

I need some advice, I using ObjectSetText to display some value on chart. Since the text in using 'string' format the value I want it to be display as only a whole number without decimal point and round down value. How should i go about doing it?

i.e value at 2.6, display as only 2

U can use StrToInteger(), it will discard fractional part -> https://docs.mql4.com/convert/StrToInteger. Obviously, this would only work if the string actually contains a number...

Thanks, I tried as suggest, but still fail to display. Is it because ObjectsetText only accept string and dont' recongise int?
bool ObjectSetText( string name, string text, int font_size, string font=NULL, color text_color=CLR_NONE)
 

I only manage to get it display a single digit using string as per following :
string var1=DoubleToStr(accountbal,0);

At least, it work for the time being, if anyone have better advice do let me know. Thanks

No, int would be cast to string automatically. There must be some other problem.

What do u mean a single digit? This should work fine as well...

Actually i meant whole number. Nevertheless, i think i stick to this at the moment, Thanks

btw, for ObjectSetText, is it able to insert 2 variable inside the function. example

String var1
String var2

ObjectSetText("OBJ_NAME1",var1, 20, "Tahoma", Black);


Can I add the var2 inside the same function too? Thanks

You can just concatenate the strings... For example:

ObjectSetText("OBJ_NAME1",var1 + " " + var2, 20, "Tahoma", Black);
 

Thanks again gordon, it work beautifully.
