"Historical Data imported successfully" modal dialog box blocks everything
I came across this issue today twice actually which caused me to kill off NinjaTrader using the Windows Task Manager.
I have strategies running in the Strategies tab, and I have instruments in the Market Analyzer, and I need to import historical tick data.
Once the import was running, I left the machine unattended. In fact I went to bed.
When I came back to the PC, there was a dialog box showing on the screen, which said something along these lines corresponding to the entry in the log:
14/05/2010 06:29:33 Strategy Strategy 'Scalper001/7c29807154cf4ebe85b650ffabec32f9' lost price connection but will keep running.
However the dialog box was greyed, i.e. not selected, and in fact no NinjaTrader window was selectable with the mouse, it just caused a beep from the PC. Nor could I select it with Alt+Tab.
The tickdata import was finished, and I verified this by checking afterwards, but the "Historical Data imported successfully" dialog box was not visible.
So I had no choice but to close down NT via the Task Manager.
As I said, this happened twice, so I think there is definitely an issue with the dialog boxes.
