Steve: thanks for the snippit of code; I will play with
it. I went ahead and just used SelectedValue AS WELL AS BeginValue and
EndValue. When a vertical pole is planted (what IS the official AB
terminology for the vertical line on a bar??) then my Title statement does some
display and if both range markers are set, then the display that depends on the
vertical pole is not correct, but I can live with that. I will alter after
I investigate what you have included below. Thanks for the help and
interest.
I guess while we are discussing the Title statement, do you
know how to include the FULLNAME() in a Title when you are using a Foreign
lookup. FULLNAME applies to the current symbol in the entry box, but I can
not get a FullName in a Title statement when inputting a symbol via a ParamStr
input and using Foreign.

Hi Ken,
The error is due to the test for DB name,
sorry, I forgot about that - about 5 lines down, try changing the DB name
from "Data-TC2005" to the name of your TC2K DB. I remember when I was
writing it that my original intent was about the same as yours, but I discovered
that I liked it better using only the range markers and leaving the vertical
line free for other things. So in the code, setting the first range marker
calculates from that point to the end, then if you set the second
range marker, it moves up the end of range to the second marker. Or, here
is some quick code that does that:
SetBarRequired( 100000, 100000 )
BarNumber = BarIndex();
if ( BeginValue( BarNumber) ) ) // if beginning range marker is set
{
StartBar = BeginValue( BarNumber );
EndBar = EndValue( BarNumber );
}
for ( i = Startbar + 1; i <= EndBar, i++ )
...calculate % change...
If you still want to use the vertical line, try
this:
BarNumber = BarIndex();
if ( SelectedValue( BarNumber ) != LastValue( BarNumber ) )
// a bar is selected

Steve:
Hats off to you for programming that code.
Wow!
I played with it momentarily but always got a "T1 not
defined" and could not afford the time to delve in to make it work. No
even sure I could make it work, and really didn't comprehend the
"approach". But it works for you and more power to
you.
Thanks for the offer. I was hoping for a simple one
or two line suggestion on detecting whether a pole has been planted or a range
marker has been set up.

Hi Ken,
Maybe you can modify the attached code - it
plots relative price change of
TC2K sectors, and is pretty flexible in
allowing you to use different ways
to select your time periods. If I
remember right, you used to use TC2K? If
so, it should work for you right
out of the box.

I am sure this is simple, but I am having trouble telling the formula
