Output window

[ghunt]

Is it possible to open the output window from within a Strategy?

Thanks!

Hello ghunt,

It may be possible but unfortunately there is not a supported method for this. Perhaps one of our community members have attempted this and can offer input here.

I haven't done it yet, but a workaround I am thinking about is use StreamWriter to write to a notepad doument and have that notepad open on the screen

i have built an alternate to the output window. you can find it here.

again if you are perticularly interested in the native output window there is a code

base.ClearOutputWindow()

you might be interested to check the winapi PostMessage etc stuff.

thanks Jon.

cant say why its not natively implemented but the beauty of NinjaTrader is it lets one do virtually anything. the limitations are only in ones mind

Hi bukkan

You are right, C# opens unlimited possibilities to developers.
For example, in our projects we were required to provide a better logging system that allows more detailed tracing with classification of errors, messages, etc. Well, guess what, we have decided to use log4net module with all of its power , flexibility, tuning and performance. You can find a number of already developed dashboards for this tool and enjoy nicely done multicolored trace info. Sound crazy for Ninja developers but if you really need it for big projects then why not to try :-)

Kind regards,
John

Hi there

Can someone tell me where the dsOutputWindow.dll file is?

I can't find it and am trying to follow the instructions on this link above...

Edit: My mistake - clicked download now on the right side...

Thx
