How AB works. When you change charts AB runs a scan on all the
formulas on the visible page, top to bottom. If you hard code the
static to "ATI" then that is what it will always have. It will not
have the name of the current chart unless that is ATI. If you cange
to an new chart it shows they are not the same. So it will depend on
where in your chart you put the name.
If the last line in your formula is
_N(StaticVarSetText( "Old_Symbol_Name", name() );
and the first line is your chart is
if(StaticVarGetText( "Old_Symbol_Name" ) != "" and
StaticVarGetText( "Old_Symbol_Name" ) == name())
then you should be able to tell when you change charts.
I coded this and it works:
if(StaticVarGetText( "Old_Symbol_Name" ) != "" and
StaticVarGetText( "Old_Symbol_Name" ) == name() )
SetChartBkColor( colorpink );
else // false or new symbol leg
SetChartBkColor( coloryellow );
StaticVarSetText( "Old_Symbol_Name", Name());
The last line above has to be after the if statement above, not
necessarily at the end of the chart.
When you switch charts the chart will stay yellow until you click
somehwere on the worksheet, whatever it takes to make AB scan the
chart. Then the name will be the same and it will turn pink.
If you change the true path color to your normal backbround color
then it will only be yellow on a change.
