#Post Title - Labels Off with "Show Study" Unchecked(??).

# Need Help.
# Does anyone know how to do something in the code so that labels in the code will stop being displayed when we UNcheck "Show Study" in the edit studies window?

# I already know how to add an Input to turn off the labels with a yes/no choice.
# I want to know how to make the labels turn off when I turn off the study by UNchecking the "Show Study" box.

# And, if it can't be done I would like some understanding why it can't be done.

#Reason.
# If I Uncheck "Show Study" I want the study to be off, and that includes the labels too.

# Test it for yourself.
# Run this script and then Uncheck "Show Study" in the edit studies window and you will see that the average plot will be gone but the label will remain.

# Or, try the experiment with any of your studies that have labels.

# Suggested Name = SB_LabelOffUNckedShowStudy_v1
declare upper;
plot Data = average(close,50);
addlabel(yes, "Label Turn Off Test--symbol = " + getUnderlyingSymbol());

#Thanks.

@halcyonguy is correct. ToS does not provide a simple check or uncheck for bubbles, labels or clouds.
But there is a workaround.
You can create a conditional label which you can set the display of labels to yes or no.

Most labels default to yes ; which displays labels always
AddLabel(yes, .........

Here is an example where "yes" is replaced with a choice to display:
input DisplayLabels = no ;
AddLabel(DisplayLabels, .........

can't. that just one of the annoying things with thinkscript, disabling a study does not turn off labels and bubbles...

I wish the software writers were users of what they wrote:)
