VolumeCandles & Paint Background

Hi Chad,

Paint Background indicator disappears when VolumeCandles is added to chart. It still exists in Chart Element Manager, but does not paint anything. Are those two incompatible?

PaintBar and VolumeScope

Yes, currently the two are not compatible because PaintBars does not paint when attached to invisible instruments.  What you can do however is edit the VolumeScope to uncheck the "Hide Bars" checkbox...

Then edit the instrument to draw a 1 pixel dotted line at the close (can be the same color as background of chart)...

And you can send that instrument to the back of the element order so it's behind everything else.  At that point, your instrument is technically visible (although you won't see it) but because it goes through it's drawing code, the PaintBars (Paint Background) will be honored.
