Get the window handle of a Chart

[dontpanic]

Hi,

I'm trying to get my indicator to return the window handle of the chart in which it is running. I have used the function GetActiveWindow() whilst making sure that it is the active window, but the function returns 0.

Also, being able to retrieve the window title or name would be good too.

Any suggestions?



Thanks,

dontpanic, there would be unfortunately no methods here in NinjaScript we could support, however I believe the handle would be given by ChartControl.Handle and the chart caption then by ChartControl.GetChartCaption (this will return the Instrument, Bartype / Interval and Date).

Thanks, thats working for me.

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

[DllImport("user32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
static extern IntPtr FindWindow(string lpClassName, string lpWindowName);

Window cWnd = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent);
IntPtr hWnd = (IntPtr)FindWindow(null, cWnd.Title);
Print(cWnd.Title +_+ hWnd.ToString("X"));
