Drag & drop script 'Text' wingding

New comment
 

I've been tying to amend this script to give me a text object "$$$" drop on chart.

it works, but says "Text" and i've been unable to make it say '$$$' or etc.

Would someone mind possibly pointing me in the right direction,

would be appreciated, thank you. 

  
extern int kktextNumber = "$$$";
  1. int = string makes no sense.

  2. kktextNumber is not used.

  3. Perhaps you should read the manual. ObjectCreate - Object Functions - MQL4 Reference What subwindow is "$$$"?
    bool  ObjectCreate(
   string        object_name,   // object name
   ENUM_OBJECT   object_type,   // object type
   int           sub_window,    // window index
   datetime      time1,         // time of the first anchor point
   double        price1,        // price of the first anchor point
   datetime      time2=0,       // time of the second anchor point
   double        price2=0,      // price of the second anchor point
   datetime      time3=0,       // time of the third anchor point
   double        price3=0       // price of the third anchor point
   );
    		 
    ObjectCreate(
  kktextObjectName, 
  OBJ_TEXT, 
  "$$$", 
  kktextTime, 
  kktextPrice
⋮

);

  4. Where do you set the object's font to Wingdings?

  5. Where do you set the object's text? Usually by number: 
    enum  Wingding {           WD_THUMBSUP=67,               WD_THUMBSDOWN,
   WD_DOT_LARGE=108,       WD_SQUARE_FILLED_MEDIUM=110,  WD_SQUARE_EMPTY_MEDIUM,
   WD_DIAMOND_SMALL=115,   WD_DIAMOND_LARGE,WD_SQUARE_FILLED_MEDIUM_ROTATED=117,
   WD_SQUARE_FILLED_SMALL_ROTATED=119,                   WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_0=128,
   WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_1,      WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_2,            WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_3,

   WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_7,      WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_8,            WD_CIRCLE_EMPTY_9,

   WD_ARROW_DN_THICK,      WD_ARROW_UR_THICK=236,        WD_ARROW_DR_THICK=238,
