Auto Form Pop Up from Strategies

[I_Quant]

I have implemented a number of strategies that create forms. Is there any way that I can make my forms auto pop up when the strategy is enabled using the Control Centre.

Currently the only way I get my forms to create is when I enable the strategy on the chart. As I have 3-4 forms for each e-mini, this takes me ages in set up time.

I'd like to be able to just run down the control centre strategy list and enable/pop up in one action.

thanks

Hello I_Quant,

Thank you for your post.

I have not attempted this from the Strategies tab. I will look into this further on my end but keep in mind this is unsupported.

Hello I_Quant,

Thank you for your patience.

The following code will open a form when enabling the strategy on the Strategies tab of the Control Center:

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = true;
        }

        private Form testForm = new Form();
        private Button testButton = new Button();

        protected override void OnStartUp()
        {
            testButton.Click += testButton_Click;
            testButton.Text = "Unload Form";
            testButton.Width = 300;
            testForm.Controls.Add(testButton);
            testForm.Width = 500;
            testForm.Height = 500;
            testForm.Show();
        }

        protected override void OnTermination()
        {
            testButton.Click -= testButton_Click;
            testForm.Close();
            testForm = null;
        }

        private void testButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            testButton.Click -= testButton_Click;
            testForm.Close();
            testForm = null;
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
        /// </summary>
        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
        }
