Hello gartonrd,

Thank you for your post.

The F5 key is used to refresh a window.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Automating the Refresh Key F5

Hello,

I want automate the refresh key, F5, in an indicator.

What would be the code to activate the function key, F5 in the OnUpdate() section?

Thanks

Unfortunately calling this programmatically is not supported in NinjaScript.

System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.Send("{F5}");

As NinjaTrader_Bertrand says, you cannot expect any support/help to make it work. It is standard C#, but there is plenty of standard C# that is not supported NinjaScript.

You have to be very careful to make sure that you have suitable escape conditions, or you will find yourself in an endless loop if you use it in OnBarUpdate().

The refresh key is something I could use. I will give it a try.
