NT8 - accessing properties for HotKeys?

[Sim22]

Hi there,

I am wanting to loop through each drawing tool hotkey within ninja script to find the Key Gesture/Key/Modifiers for each hotkey.

I'm looking at something like this:

NinjaTrader.Gui.HotKeys.ChartHotKeys hotKeys = new NinjaTrader.Gui.HotKeys.ChartHotKeys();

foreach(KeyGesture keyGesture in hotKeys)
{
     string displayString = keyGesture.DisplayString;
     Key key = keyGesture.Key;
     ModifierKeys mKeys = keyGesture.Modifiers;

 ......do something with this information

} 

I'm sure I'm missing something in the foreach statement.

Oh and if possible to set "RemoveAllDrawingObjects" to my own KeyGesture programmatically.

Thank you.

Hello Sim22,

I am not aware of a way to loop through the existing event handlers for each keypress / keydown.

However, I will create a feature request on your behalf for this and send this in to development. Once I have a tracking ID for this request I will post this ID in this thread.

Hi Chelsea,

I'm already using hotkeys hardcoded in ninjascript using default values via string arrays, however since I will share this (indicator) with the forum I wanted to access the user defined settings. I have learned the hard way that not everyone reads instructions very well

Thank you.
