Log Tab doesn't show items in the order of being created

[jjhou]

in NinjaTrader 8.0.0.12,
see the test code:

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
            var curThreadId = Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId;
            var dispatcherThreadId = this.Dispatcher.Thread.ManagedThreadId;
            var isInUIThread = (curThreadId == dispatcherThreadId);

            Log(string.Format("Thread{1}: I am {0}in UI thread. CurrentBar={2}, Count={3}", isInUIThread ? "" : "NOT ", curThreadId, this.CurrentBar, this.Count), LogLevel.Error);
        }

and see the Log tab shows, the CurrentBar number is out of order:


If replace Log() with Print(), the order is correct:


By the way, I checked the log file under my document\ninjatrader8 path, the order is correct. So I guess it's the Log Tab's bug to show items withou sync with the log file.

Hello jjhou,

Thank you for your note about this.

I am inquiring with NT Development if messages to the Log should be in order (or synchronous).

I appreciate your patience.

Hello jjhou,

Our development has let me know that the Log tab itself does update asynchronously even though calling Log() in a script sends the logs in order.

The Log tab itself does not have millisecond granularity. This means that when the Log tab updates with queued log messages, any messages that happened in the same second may be out of order. (The granularity is only to the second)

I've submitted a feature request on your behalf to have messages in the log appear in order.
