I am trying to get the high and low of a given bar that i click the mouse on. I understand using the ProcessMouseEvents and all that. But I have a hard time getting the values for the bar clicked...

I am trying various ways, but with no luck. .. Sometimes I am getting vBarsAgo as a number less than 0, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong, or how I should approach the problem..


Here is rough pseudo sample code

 

Code

if MouseClickShiftPressed then begin vClickBarNbr = MouseClickBarNumber; //vLastBar = currentbar; vLastBar = barnumber; vBarsAgo = vLastBar-vClickBarNbr ; if vBarsAgo >= 0 then begin vClickBarHigh = high[vBarsAgo]; vClickBarLow = low[vBarsAgo]; print ("high = " + NumToStr(vclickBarHigh,2) + " Low = " + NumToStr(vclickBarLow,2)); end else begin print ("bar= " + NumToStr(vBarsAgo,0) + " Low = " + NumToStr(vclickBarLow,2)); end;

Why don't you try to get the bar by time, you should be able to get e.X as time pretty easily...

you are using a non-standard bar chart.
