Delphi: SetIndexSymbol - Where do I get Symbol set tables

#1 Postby christoff » Mon Sep 26, 2011 7:20 am

Hi,

In Delphi you use the code:

SetIndexStyle(1, ds_Symbol, psSolid, 5, clBlack);
SetIndexSymbol(1, 242, 0, 0);


to define things like arrows etc. on your chart. The value 242 above is the symbol value for a down arrow.

I want to know where can I find tables for other types of symbols, like dots etc.

Thanks

Hi,

I believe codes for any of the Wingdings font characters can be used.

If this is the case, the chart below should be very useful...

Steve
