size=2>Ron,
Under
preferences/misc do you have "show interpretation in tool tips" checked?
if so, anything you add to your title line will be shown in the tool tip. If you
do not the information in the title line as well then simple eliminate the
Title= and it will show only in commentary or tool tip
Regards,Jayson

Modify Price Chart
Thanks for the suggestions. My builtin price
chart has
<FONT color=#800000
size=4>#include <FONT
color=#ff00ff size=4>"C:\\program
files\amibroker\afl\include\writeuponstock.afl"<FONT
color=#000000>;
and I tried using
<SPAN
>#include "C:\program
files\amibroker\afl\include\writeuponstock.afl", and
, Progra~1 , and neither of them
worked.
<SPAN
><FONT
size=2>
<SPAN
>I am pretty sure
that I would overheat my brain once again if I tried to learn
all about WriteIf. Also,from what I read in
Help, WriteIf() would be of no use in getting <FONT
size=4>,<SPAN
>"BwidthPctChg",to appear in the
popup menu.
<SPAN
><FONT
size=4>
<SPAN
>Further, I found
nothing in help about modifying built-in indicators. I looked at past posts of
how to add to the builtin indicators, and none of them even mentioned the
popup menu.
<SPAN
><FONT
size=4>
<SPAN
>Does anyone have
other ideas of how to make the builtin popup menus display additional
information? Ron D

If it does not work even after
doing what graham has said below, try changing Program files to
Progra~1

<SPAN
>Johan, thanks for the
code. I made a custom version of the built-in price chart so I would
not risk harming the built-in price chart. Below, I have copied the
custom duplicate Price Chart, with your code pasted in above
the<SPAN

//--Indicator-End-- <FONT face=Arial color=black

instructed. I have also copied the error message that I get when I
click on Apply.
<SPAN
>I then clicked
on OK after viewing the error message, and this same error message is
the only thing that shows up in the indicator window. Somehow, this
added coding prevents the original portion of the built-in price window
from seeing whatever else that it needs to see.
<SPAN

WRITEUPONSTOCK but could find no reference to it.. I am
guessing that it would work if it were coded using
WriteIf( xxxxxxx). I will try to learn a little about this when I
have more time.
