Sample code to add in a form into the strategy

[sinpeople]

Hi,

In strategy, I want to add a dialog form, which displays the status of those key points this strategy monitors. And get the form updated on every tick basis.

I would prefer this dialog can be shared by multiple strategies with minimum or no coding change.

I won't use strategy to place orders. Orders will be placed manually in demo account first during the initial development stage.

Not sure if anyone has done this. I need a simple to pop up a form. The rest I can take care of it myself.

Thank you!


Best Regards
David

Hello sinpeople,

In NT7 user interface development was never technically supported so there are no documented samples for adding to the NT7 UI. You can find some examples of working with the UI on the user app share and the forums. I have provided a link to a toolbar from the user app share, if you are familliar with windows forms development that would be what is required to work with the UI. While our support cannot assist with NT7 UI items we can with NT8 items going forward, NT8 now uses WPF and is documented for addon development.
