I am writing a chart trader and would like to display text on the 
screen that does not change when the mouse is moved. Because of the 
AFL runs on the conecpt of arrays, my panel changes value when the 
cursor is moved. 

the following afl runs in its own pane. I get the text written to the 
panel. however, it disappears as soon as i click the panel. how do i 
avoid it.


INDICAT=1;
BUY_CODE="BY";
SHORT_CODE="SH";
STOP_CODE="ST";
TARGET_CODE="RE";
TRADE_SHORT="SHORT";
TRADE_LONG="BUY";
POSITION_VALUE=3000;
alertText="Messages: \n";
errorText="All Errors \n";
errorCode=0;
MISSING_TRADE_DATA=-10;
/*
Risk_Reward_Ratio=0;
PotentialProfit=0;
PotentialLoss=0;
NoOfSharesToBuy=0;
*/

CellHeight = 50; 
CellWidth = 300; 
//GfxSelectFont( "Tahoma", CellHeight/2 ); 




trigger = ParamTrigger("Place Order", "Click here to place order"); 
TradeDirection=ParamList("Trade Direction" ,TRADE_SHORT + "," + 
TRADE_LONG);
POSITION_VALUE=Param("Value Of Position" ,3000,0,100000);
CHARTID_OF_SIGNALS=Param("ChartId Signal Panel",1);		
if( trigger  AND (Status( "action" )==INDICAT) ) {
			
			switch(TradeDirection){
				case 	TRADE_SHORT:
					PopupWindow("Got a trigger 
short","Trigger short"); 

					
				case 	TRADE_LONG:
					PopupWindow("Got a trigger 
LONG" ,"Trigger LONG"); 
					// CHECK IF ALL THE VALUES 
ARE THERE TO DO THE LONG TRADE
					BuyPrice=LastValue(Study
(BUY_CODE, CHARTID_OF_SIGNALS ));
					StopPrice=LastValue(Study
(STOP_CODE, CHARTID_OF_SIGNALS) );
					TargetPrice=LastValue(Study
(TARGET_CODE, CHARTID_OF_SIGNALS ));
					alertText="  Buy price " + 
NumToStr(BuyPrice) + "\n" +
								 "  
Stop price " + NumToStr(StopPrice) + "\n" +
								 "  
Target Price " + NumToStr(TargetPrice) + "\n" ;

					if(BuyPrice==0){
						errorText= errorText 
+ "Buy Price is missing  \n";errorCode=MISSING_TRADE_DATA;
							}
					if(StopPrice==0){
						errorText= errorText 
+ "Stop  Price is missing  \n";errorCode=MISSING_TRADE_DATA;
						}

					if(TargetPrice==0){
						errorText= errorText 
+ "Target Price is missing  \n";errorCode=MISSING_TRADE_DATA;
 				
						}
					if(errorCode ==0){
					// Build Potential Trade 
Stats and request confirmation.
					
					// round it to the Tens's 
					NoOfSharesToBuy=(round
((POSITION_VALUE/BuyPrice) /10))*10;
					profitPotential=TargetPrice-
BuyPrice;
					LossPotential=BuyPrice-
StopPrice;
					Risk_Reward_Ratio=NumToStr
(profitPotential/LossPotential) + ":" + "1" ;

					alertText= alertText + "No of 
Shares to Buy" + NumToStr(NoOfSharesToBuy) + "\n";
					alertText= alertText 
+ "profit Potential" + NumToStr(profitPotential) + "\n";
					alertText= alertText + "Loss 
Potential" + NumToStr(LossPotential) + "\n";
					alertText= alertText + "Risk 
Reward Ratio" + Risk_Reward_Ratio + "\n";

				

							
				}
					

	

				}
		// WRITE VALIDATION TO ENSURE THAT THE STUDY LINES 
ARE FLAT sometime in future.


					
					
}
// display the text to the user
//PopupWindow(alertText + errorText  +errorCode   ,TRADE_LONG + " "  
+ Name(),15);

	GfxDrawText( alertText + errorText  + WriteVal
(errorCode),10,10,300,300);
