Hi guys,

For a long time now, my Sierra "Chart Values Window" is gone. No where to be found. I have over 20 charts across six monitors and don't want to use the "reset windows", I am hoping there is another way...

Any suggestions?

Basically, when I right click on a chart and select "Chart Values Window", nothing happens.

If I go to main control panel and do Window - Chart Values Window (F3), nothing happens.

If I do "Chart Window Always Visible", nothing happens.

The same is true of "Tool Values Window". MIA, can't find it anywhere.

Mike

you can open spy++ or winspector and find it and resize/move it from there.

Can you tell me the title of the window, so I can use Search within spy++?

Mine is named either "Chart Values for Last Column" (this is when the sierra main window is focused )or chartsymbol timeframe number - Chart Value (example NQ-201209-CME 233 tick #1 - Chart Values". (when a chart is active)

By the way the exact same thing happened to me after an upgrade and the chart values window was very small (but border could be grabbed and resized) in the upper left corner of the main monitor.

OK, I think I found it.



Tried "highlight", does nothing. How can I maximize it or resize it?

You have to grab the window handle and do a sendmessage to it, theres a free tool that can do it: SendMessage. (by sending the message SetWindowPos)

But first you can right click, do properties and see what the properties:

rectangle
restored rect
and client rect

that might give a hint to where it is.
