RE: [amibroker] Load Layout from AFL

["dingo" <dingo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

most of the recent OLE stuff is in the "What's New in Amibroker" section of
the help file. If you're going to use OLE then you need to clip and save the
new stuff from there.  Also the ReadMe for the betas.

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!
