General C# question: Easy "scoreboard" UI...?

[heech]

Hey all,

This isn't a NT-specific question really... but thought I'd ask for some general input. I don't have much history in the C# framework, so don't know the best place to go.

I'm looking to display a "scoreboard" showing current results/flags, for my strategy as it runs in real-time. Current returns, upcoming enter/exit points, etc, etc... A simple spreadsheet type grid, with basic colored text would be enough. Just the kind of stuff we look at every day, and even what NT itself uses. (Some support for inputs might be useful later on... a few number entry fields, etc.)

Can anyone recommend a simple toolkit (or specific class) to look into?

Some people like to just have right side margin to their charts and then just override Plot() and draw some panel into there displaying the information they want.

I have 40 different symbols going in the same strategy, so don't think it makes sense to use the current chart at all.

But I'd love to know what panel class to use...

Its not a panel class. They just override the Plot and draw their own through C# drawing methods. You can take a look at CustomPlotSample indicator preinstalled with your NinjaTrader.
