NTWindow: is right part of caption accessible?

[fx.practic]

Hello.

Please, look in screen-shot attached.
Caption property set text on red background of NTWindow header.
Is there a way to add text on right part NTWindow header?

Thank You.

Hello fx.practic,

The right side of an NT window would contain its Menu to place buttons or other toolbar type items. You could likely place text inside of the menu as well. Are you creating your own NTWindow or are you asking about the output window specifically?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I am creating my own NTWindow, of course.
Thank You for Your answer.

Hello fx.practic,

In that case it should be very simple, you just need to append your item into the MainMenu:

MainMenu.Add(new System.Windows.Controls.Label(){Content = "TEST", Foreground = Brushes.White});

The Menu takes most standard WPF controls, you may need to experiment to find what you like as the NT8 styles take over the default WPF styles.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Wow, it's so simple!
I tried - It worked ))
And no need to add MainMenu!

Jim, is there any way to paint labels and other controls according to current skin (font, background, borders, etc.) ?

Thank You!

Hello fx.practic,

The controls you use should mostly all already inherit the NT skins but it may depend on what you are trying to do. The Label example in the Menu would be an odd use case so that likely would need to be custom styled. If you instead use the standard items for the menu such as buttons, those would look like the existing buttons in the menu with the same styles. You noted that you wanted text which a Label would generally be used for but a button could also do that and just not do anything when clicked.

I would suggest instead looking at the following example of creating a toolbar button to inherit styles: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...bs?postcount=2
