# GetObjectText

Reads the display text of a named chart object.

## Signature

```typescript
GetObjectText(chartId: number, name: string, isStatic?: boolean | undefined): string | null
```

## Parameters

| Name       | Type                   | Required | Description                                                                                                                                           |
| ---------- | ---------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `chartId`  | `number`               | Yes      | Targets the chart window; `0` keeps calls on the chart this module is attached to.                                                                    |
| `name`     | `string`               | Yes      | Stable identifier for later updates and deletion — prefix it with your module name.                                                                   |
| `isStatic` | `boolean \| undefined` | No       | Collection to access: `true` (default) for non-editable drawings; `false` for regular drawing tools. Match creation. Action buttons remain clickable. |
