SetZOrder() ?

[funk101]

I would like my indicator to be below all other objects on the chart, what is the correct syntax for this?

Hello funk101,

Thank you for writing in.

Please take a look at the help guide for SetZOrder(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...?setzorder.htm

A value of -1 would set the indicator behind the other objects on the chart.

Please, let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Yes, I tried that and it does not do it. I put it in State.Default, *and State.Active*. Again, doesn't make a change

Hello funk101,

I'm looking further why using SetZOrder() is not producing the desired outcome.

As a workaround, in State.Configure, you can directly assign the indicator's ZOrder property:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
     ZOrder = -1;
}

You'll want to be aware, however, of the Z-Ordering of the default chart objects: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...?setzorder.htm

Also, be aware that there can be conflicts if two indicators are using the same ZOrder set from ZOrder.

I believe that there is a bug report about that failure already. Try using the ZOrder assignment instead. I do it in State.SetDefaults.

Ok cool, thanks, this works for me:

if (State == State.Configure)
    ZOrder = -1;
