Re: [amibroker] Load Layout from AFL

Amazing but true...only 2 lines of AFL code allow you to load any layout you want.  But where is the documentation?  

Thanks so much dingo!

AB = CreateObject("Broker.Application");

Test=AB.LoadLayout("C:\\yourlayoutdirectory\\yourlayout.awl");

  Ooops!

  Can you tell I was distracted?   8-)

  Dim oAB

  Const cstLayoutDir = "C:\Program Files\Amibroker\Layouts\"

  Set oAB = CreateObject("Broker.Application")
  oAB.Visible = True

  oAB.LoadLayout(cstLayoutDir + "Daily Index Monitor.awl")

  Set oAB  = Nothing


  That should be more in-line with your request.

    Dingo...could you point me in the right direction to write a script to load a layout?  I'm familiar with the objects guide http://www.amibroker.com/guide/objects.html.  But I don't see how to use it to open a layout.

        There must be a way since BatMan does it, although from a script I think.

        Yes, that's what I was afraid of.  Really too bad in a way because I have automated adding symbols to the charts.  But when I do that the layouts get messed up (for some reason the symbols are assigned to charts alphabetically, so when new ones are added, everything gets switched).  So I then have to manually reload a prior layout.  Anyone found a solution to this?  Thanks!
