Button On Chart

[delTik]

can I add a button to a ninjatrader chart and if so is there any sample code?

I'd like to click the button at any time to call a method.

found (see attached) but appears to add button code in

if (State == State.Historical) is this the right place and should it be done only once?

as discussed here Using BitmapImage objects with Buttons ( if (!IsToolBarButtonAdded) AddButtonToToolbar() )

but not only once here

Hello delTik,

Thank you for writing in.

You can instantiate the button in State.Historical or later; Historical would be the earliest state to add your button.

I am not quite sure what you mean by "done only once." You can create multiple buttons if you desire, as the link you have referenced shows in the example: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...trolCollection

You will need to subscribe to the button's click event and define a custom event method to handle your custom task when the button is clicked.
