Calling 3rd party DLL

[murfinp]

Hi

I want to make a call a couple of functions in a 3rd party dll .. the documentation I have says it should be imported as follows:

[DllImport("FXBlueQuickChannel.dll",CharSet=CharSet .Unicode)] public static extern IntPtr QC_StartSenderW(string ChannelName);

[DllImport("FXBlueQuickChannel.dll",CharSet=CharSet .Unicode)] public static extern int QC_SendMessageW(IntPtr ChannelHandle, string Msg, int Flags);

Could you please outline the steps to set this up inside an indicator

Many Thanks

Hello murfinp,

Thank you for your post.

You would not need to add the dll in that manner. You could just place the .dll file under Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom and then add the reference by going to Tools > Edit NinjaScript > indicator > select any indicator > when the NinjaScript Editor opens please right click > select References > Add > select your .dll > Open > close the References window > right click > Compile.

Then in the script that uses the file make sure to add a using statement to the top of the file.

Hi ... Sorry I've got a bit stuck ... I've put the dll in the correct place (see screenshot) but when I start to "using" ninja does not seem to see it (see screenshot 2)?

Any ideas ?

Thanks

Hello murfinp,

Thank you for your response.

Even if the intelliprompt does not see it, try typing it out and compiling.
