question about ObjectGetString on an other chart

New comment
 

Good morning everyone,


I want my code to read the text in a label on other charts in the same workspace. I read this document: https://docs.mql4.com/objects/objectgetstring and I used this line of code:

string   BiasTextEURAUD    = ObjectGetString("EURAUD", "Label_Bias", OBJPROP_TEXT, 0);

I expect the code to return the text in the label called Label_Bias, but on compile I get the following warning:

implicit conversion from 'string' to 'number'


As a result the code does not work.


Can anyone please tell me what I should do differently to get the code to return the text in the label?

The function returns the value of the corresponding object property. The object property must be of the string type. There are 2 variants of the function. [in]  Modifier of the specified property. For the first variant, the default modifier value is equal to 0. Most properties do not require a modifier.  It denotes the number of the level in...
  
string  ObjectGetString(
   long    chart_id,          // chart identifier
   string  object_name,       // object name
   int     prop_id,           // property identifier
   int     prop_modifier=0    // property modifier, if required
   );

You used the chart symbol but you need to use the ChartIdentified, that is a totally different thing.

Please, read better the documentaton.

 
Thanks Fabio, I understand the term Chart Identifier was not clear to me.
