Dave,
I'm not aware of any function call that will give you what you are
after. That being the case, the safest thing to do might be to add a
parameter to your code, then set the parameter from the AA window (using
Parameters button) before running the exploration. You will still need
to set the watchlist in the Filter area too.
If for some reason you don't want to do that, then you can access the
COM object for the Analysis window and ask it which watchlist it has set
in its Filter property. This does work, but it is bad practice since you
should not be accessing the very object that is currently running. Also,
it may continually force the AA window to open. If you go this route,
don't expect any help from support ;)
Code sample for both approaches is as follows:
/*
function getWatchlist() {
ab = CreateObject("Broker.Application");
aa = ab.Analysis;
return aa.Filter(0, "watchlist");
}
_TRACE("Watchlist is: " + getWatchlist());
*/
watchlist = Param( "Watchlist", 0 );
_TRACE( "Watchlist is: " + watchlist );
Buy = Sell = Cover = Short = 0;
Filter = 1;
AddColumn( 0, "Dummy" );

know I can get a comma delimited list of symbols by calling
CategoryGetSymbols(), but the problem is I don't know which watchlist is
set in the filters setting. Does anyone know how I might get at this
info from afl? Thanks in advance!
