OnMouseMove doesn't exist??

[Antny]

All I am trying to do right now is get the mouse coords to track on a chart. I have implemented the example code in the ninja support page.. https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?onmousemove.htm

Every time I try to compile the code, I get the error:

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.AAmousestuff.On MouseMove(NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ChartControl, NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ChartPanel, NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ChartScale, NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools.ChartAnchor): no suitable method found to override

It displays as error code CS0115

I checked the micosoftC# codebasehttps://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.onmousemove(v=vs.110) .aspx and made sure to add

using System.Windows.Forms;

which I did not originally have in the code. Still, no change.

If anyone has the time to check this, here is the code:

This is the code in its entirety, so you should be able to copy it over a pre-gen indicator

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

The help guide section you have linked is for Drawing Tools specifically, you will need to take note while using the HelpGuide as to what Type the information belongs to. DrawingTools specifically have this override where an Indicator does not.

You could see the following post for some example on how to access the Mouse events from a indicator: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=86460

Additionally the MSDN article you had linked is for Winforms(system.windows.forms), NinjaTrader 8 does not use Winforms at all but instead uses WPF. For information you may find using a search, please make sure to search for "WPF" specific information for NT8. If the information is for Winforms, there is a very good chance it will not work.

Here is the WPF equivalent:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.uielement.mousemove(v=vs.110).aspx

I look forward to being of further assistance.
