Hello emuns,

I'll add this to the list of requested conversions for the NinjaTrader development to consider.

In the meantime, you may want to contact the original author snaphook and inquire they can provide the NinjaTrader 8 version.

This thread will also remain open for any community members that would like to create this conversion as a convenience to you.

This example may provide helpful in transferring information to a popup window.

As well as addons that demonstrate working with WPF.

Thanks Chelsea for the great examples. I tried to create a NotesPanel for NT8 with them. When I had a version with only one line of text, everything worked as expected. But as soon as I added more lines, only the middle one shows up and not the others. I don't know what to do with that...

Hello emuns,

The drawing objects are layered on top of each other. The last object drawn is the one on top.
Try concatenating all the strings into one string and drawing one object instead.
(Or custom render the text separately in OnRender())

Great, thanks Chelsea. Now everything is working as expected. Now I'm solving one last problem. I type text in the fields (Note 1 etc), click OK and the text appears in the appropriate place on the chart. If I want to edit the displayed text and click on the Notes box on the chart again, there is no text. So would it be possible for the text written in each field to still be there when the dialog box is reopened? How to do it?

Hello emuns,

In the addon, when the TextBox objects are assigned to variables, set the .Text to the TargetIndicator.StringValue.

Hello,

first thank you Chelsea for your great help.

I'm going back to one of my older projects. I changed the button location. To keep it out of the way on the chart, I placed it on the toolbar. The problem is that when I click on this button, nothing happens now. The dialog box does not appear (see attachment NotesPanel2).

I am attaching the last working version with the button on the chart as well (see attachment NotesPanel). If someone would be able to fix the problem, I would be very grateful.

Thank you

That said, have you used prints to debug and find out where the code is stopping?

Is the click event handler running when clicked?

Is the constructor running in the addon window when the button is clicked?

Is the Loaded event running when the addon window is constructed?
