App Share Indicator not working correctly

[Mindset]

I developed BarTimer Flash Fusion in NT7 and Patrick_H kindly translated it to NT8.
I noticed today that it no longer works correctly.
Perhaps NT could take a look at it.
the Clock counts up but lapsed time no longer works on a real time feed.

Hi Mindset, thanks for posting. The indicator is working for me when I test it. Please first make sure you sync your Windows clock with internet time:

Please let me know if this does not resolve.

Thanks ChrisL. That sorted it

I find the indicator very useful and have been using it since NT7. One really useful feature of Mindset NT7 version is that the lapsed time and clock time font brush and size can be customized separately, it helps for a quick glance without confusion. The NinjaTrader_ChrisL NT8 version renders both clock and lapse time with the same font size and brush.

I would like to request, while at it, either Mindset or Chris to please update the NT8 version for separate custom rendering of font size and brush for clock and lapse time.

Many thank.

Hi NinjaTrader_ChrisL

Is it possible, as a feature request, to implement an automatic synch within the NT8 to perforform a sync on startup, session begein, or some time frequency?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Hi. There is a newer version in the mix. Just testing it now. The syncing is something new and I will have to research if I can do that with code. However it happens very infrequently so is not a major issue

Chris - can you point to a way to sync the pc clock using ninjascript at all?
- I am updating the indicator and this might be a useful amendment to make

[NinjaTrader_ChrisL]

Hi Mindset, there is no way that I know of to do this through NinjaScript. This should be done through the Windows user interface.

Thanks Chris - I thought as much.
I found this on the web but it references a ServicesProcess.dll that I can add but not correctly reference ( maybe I am using the wrong syntax?/ need to add the whole dll?)
The reference is \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.030319\Syste m.ServiceProcess.dll
Edit - I also note it appears to be a win32 process which NT no longer support?

public static bool SyncDateTime()
{
    try
    {
        ServiceController serviceController = new ServiceController("w32time");

        if (serviceController.Status != ServiceControllerStatus.Running)
        {
            serviceController.Start();
        }



        Process processTime = new Process();
        processTime.StartInfo.FileName = "w32tm";
        processTime.StartInfo.Arguments = "/resync";
        processTime.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
        processTime.Start();
        processTime.WaitForExit();



        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception exception)
    {


        return false;
    }

Hi Mindset, please try placing that dll within Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom then reference it from there. If this does not work, it does unfortunately go beyond the scope of support I am able to provide on the subject.
