NT8 State == State.DataLoaded

[ren37]

Hello

I need draw information text on State == State.DataLoaded and hide it on State == State.Realtime.

I have tried this with no result on screen

            else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
            {
                Draw.TextFixed(this, "progress", "Processing. Please wait...", TextPosition.Center);
}

Hello ren37,

Thanks for your post.

In the OnBarUpdate() method you might try:

				
if (State == State.Historical)
{
	Draw.TextFixed(this, "progress", "Processing. Please wait...", TextPosition.Center);
				
}
				
else RemoveDrawObject ("progress");

The text would be removed on the next live/realtime OnBarUpdate().

I done this. But NT starts draw this text only after State == Realtime or Transition (not sure). In my case it's might be 30 seconds for 30 days processing.

Hi ren37,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you walk through when you want to see the text message? I understand you want it gone when State==State.RealTime.

Consider what/when you want to see when starting Ninjatrader, when connecting, when reloading historical data.

Thank-you.

I want to show message during historical data processing of course. And I want to hide it on Realtime state.

Hello ren37,

Thank you for your response.

We would need more information on this. Are you looking to have the text drawn on each bar that is historical for example? Or maybe have the text only drawn while the 'Loading...' text appears on the chart?

Please clarify so we may provide further details. Any screenshots you may have to help illustrate would be appreciated.

Hello ren37,

Thank you for your response.

I am asking you to explain what you are looking for here.

What I refer to is shown in the attached image. This is when the data is loading on the chart.

Ah, got it now.

I dont care when "Loading... " appears on chart.
I need print my message ASAP indicator loaded/reloaded and hide it on Real time state. And also I want to print big banner, not as small as default centered text. I know how to do that but NT8 does not calls OnRender() at all for any state before Real time state.

I hope this is absolutely clear now.

Hello ren37,

Thank you for your response.

There would not be an option to do so via OnRender or via a Drawing Tool.

So then you were provided with a method to do it using DrawTextFixed(). What was the issue with using that method? Did the text not show up?

Nice...
But why not to add this option? Can you address my request to developers? I'm a professional developer too and my clients need this.
