Re: [amibroker] Status("firstvisiblebarindex") vs Status("firstvisiblebar")

["Corey Saxe" <res1wgwl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow, that's pretty weird. 
I use setbarsrequired to two large numbers and it fixes it for me.

Wonder if one of your globals set somewhere is interfering?

My understanding (maybe wrong) is that the first or last visible bar won't change until you scroll left or right.
Because, the first or last visible bar is still the first or last visible bar on the screen. Clicking WITHIN the screen doesn't change that but scrolling and MOVING the screen does.

The only number that should change by clicking within the screen is barindex.
All but barcount should change when scrolling left and right, and that's how it works for me after I add setbarsrequired.

I used:
SetBarsRequired(1000000,1000000);
firstvisiblebar = Status("firstvisiblebar");
firstvisiblebarindex = Status("firstvisiblebarindex");
lastvisiblebar = Status("lastvisiblebar");
Lastvisiblebarindex = Status("Lastvisiblebarindex");
Title ="\nfirstvisiblebarindex= "+firstvisiblebarindex+
"\nfirstvisiblebar= "+firstvisiblebar+
"\nLastvisiblebar= "+lastvisiblebar+
"\nLastvisiblebarindex= "+Lastvisiblebarindex+
"\nBarindex= "+BarIndex()+
"\nBarcount= "+BarCount;
//Plot(C,"",2,128);

  Thanks for the numtostr tip Corey!

  However SetbarsRequired makes no difference for me (and it shouldn't in this
  case) and QuickAFL also makes no difference either On or Off.

  Again, no matter what i do the barindexes DO NOT change when i click on the
  chart at different locations so they do not behave the same as the
  BarIndex() and Barcount for me. Using setbarsrequired gives me different
  values but still no response to clicks (the barIndex() responds).

  Did you click on the chart and see the numbers change as they do for the
  barIndex()?

  Frustrating; for sure it will turn out to be something really stupid :-(
  thanks for testing!
