Need NT7 Winform to NT8 conversion sample

[PaulMohn]

Where can NT7 Winform to NT8 conversion samples be found?

I need to convert this strategy using WinForm to Nt8 and would like to check some samples:

Hello PaulMohn,

Thanks for your post.

Windows Forms is no longer being used in NinjaTrader. NT8 now uses WPF/Xaml for its window framework. If you have located a Windows.Forms sample for a concept, I would suggest looking for an alternative C# WPF version instead.

Here is a sample script demonstrating using WPF modifications in a NinjaScript: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ui)-modifi.htm

Below is a public link to the Microsoft website on System.Windows.Controls.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.controls?view=netframework-4.7.2

As NT8 uses WPF now all I can suggest is to redesign what you are doing in WPF to match the host window framework. You can search for other C# solutions related to hosting windows forms in WPF however our support would not be able to assist with anything windows forms related.

Hello Brandon.

Thank you for the sample. Do you have the same sample but divided into smaller parts?
I mean each demonstrated feature to its own script, possibly with comments?
I mean minimal scripts like this:

Use case #1: Custom top toolbar variables
shown and commented in a 1st script.

Use case #2: Custom top toolbar variables
shown and commented in a 2nd script.

Use case #3: Custom right side panel variables
shown and commented in a 3rd script.

Use case #4: Custom menu added to titlebar (NTBar) variables
shown and commented in a 4th script.

Use case #5: Custom chart trader buttons variables
shown and commented in a 5th script.

Use case #6: Modify existing chart trader buttons variables
shown and commented in a 6th script.

Alternatively, do you know of a prior NT7 to NT8 converted project including Winforms?
Possibly from the User Apps Share for easier reference?

Additionally, do you know of a NT8 WPF projet including more controls samples/examples?
And/or a list of more/all available controls with examples if you know of some of help?
Possibly too relevant examples you or other NT technicians know from the User Apps Share for easier reference?

I learned about Xceed. Do you have samples using it?
What are your recommendations about it?

Hello PaulMohn,

Thanks for your notes.

You could view the sample scripts on the forum thread below demonstrating these concepts in individual scripts.

https://forum.ninjatrader.com/forum/ninjatrader-8/indicator-development/96376-modifications-to-chart-wpf-elements-and-tab-considerations#post96376

Note that this is now maintained in the help guide reference samples and no longer maintained on the forum.

This means the SampleWPFModifications reference sample from the help guide would be the most up to date script demonstrating these concepts.

I am not aware of any other reference samples demonstrating more/all controls for WPF modifications. You would need to do some research for using WPF in C# to learn more about other available controls you could use and how to use them.

Using Xceed would go outside the scope of support we would be able to provide you with in the Support department at NinjaTrader. You would need to research this topic further to learn how to use Xceed WPF Toolkit and find example code.

Hello Paul.

Your indicator addon does not add the respective indicator after importing it into ninjatrader. This is an issue I and another user have experienced and the following post was made. Please reply to it as the indicator has great potential and I look forward to using it.

Many thanks,

Rick
