Cant see text in separate window

[chinaski]

Hello community,

want to show text in a separate window of an indicator:

#property indicator_separate_window
int OnInit()
{
    int chart_id=0;
    int sub_window=1;
    string name="my_test";
    if(!ObjectCreate(chart_id,name,OBJ_TEXT,sub_window,0,0.0) ) 
      return(INIT_FAILED);

   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_CORNER,CORNER_LEFT_UPPER);   
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,20);      
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,20);     
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_FONTSIZE,20);     
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_COLOR,clrWhite);  
   ObjectSetString(chart_id, name,OBJPROP_FONT,"Calibri");    
   ObjectSetString(chart_id, name,OBJPROP_TEXT,"test text");
   
      
 
      
    return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
  
}


//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Custom indicator iteration function                              |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int OnCalculate(const int rates_total,
                const int prev_calculated,
                const datetime &time[],
                const double &open[],
                const double &high[],
                const double &low[],
                const double &close[],
                const long &tick_volume[],
                const long &volume[],
                const int &spread[])
 
{
    
    
    return(rates_total);
}

No compilation error and also not text shown.

Whats wrong?

Thank you

Hello .

Use OBJ_LABEL , this is the text for use with screen coordinates while OBJ_TEXT is text for use with time and price coordinates 

Delete objects on DeInit

And add ChartRedraw() if on MT5

#property indicator_separate_window
int OnInit()
{
    int chart_id=0;
    int sub_window=1;
    string name="my_test";
   ObjectCreate(chart_id,name,OBJ_LABEL,sub_window,0,0.0);
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_CORNER,CORNER_LEFT_UPPER);   
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE,20);      
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE,20);     
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_FONTSIZE,20);     
   ObjectSetInteger(chart_id,name,OBJPROP_COLOR,clrWhite);  
   ObjectSetString(chart_id, name,OBJPROP_FONT,"Calibri");    
   ObjectSetString(chart_id, name,OBJPROP_TEXT,"test text");
   ChartRedraw();
      
 
      
    return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
}

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
{
ObjectsDeleteAll(ChartID(),"my_test");
}
