Removing Text

[velocity]

I have an indicator that places text below the bar. I have a condition statement that if true it places the word "buy" below the bar. However later in the code if a different condition is true, I want to ERASE the word "buy" and print "major buy" instead. (this indicator is a CalculateOnBarClose false)

Problem: How do I erase the word "buy". Here is my code for the "buy":

DrawText("Text11"+ CurrentBar, "buy", 0, Low[0] - 4 * TickSize, Color.Black);

Here is how I am trying to remove it:

RemoveDrawObject("Text11");

Is the text an actual DrawObject?

Thanks

Try it:
DrawText ("Text11", "buy", 0, Low [0] - 4 * TickSize, Color.Black);

Thanks for the suggestion, but that did not do it.

Support, Any other Ideas?

thanks

Velocity,

I think that you are using the (example) "Text11288" object, but the "Text11" object you want to remove.

Check:

Print ( "Text11" + CurrentBar);

I don't think that's the problem.

velocity,

That is the problem. Your objects are uniquely named, just use a static name and instead of drawing new objects all the time, it will just modify the preexisting object. Remove the + CurrentBar from your tag name.
