TabControlManager.SetIsSimulation on AddOn Framework NinjaScript Basic

[Rudmax]

Hello Guys,

I'm trying to include the code:

TabControlManager.SetIsSimulation(tc, true);

https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_overview.htm

inside the AddOn Framework that is a example posted at https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_overview.htm

but this included code does not change the background color for Sim/Real Accounts.

Would someone help me?

Here is the complete code

public AddOnFrameworkWindow()
		{
			// set Caption property (not Title), since Title is managed internally to properly combine selected Tab Header and Caption for display in the windows taskbar
			// This is the name displayed in the top-left of the window
			Caption = "AddOn Framework";

			// Set the default dimensions of the window
			Width = 1085;
			Height = 900;

			// TabControl should be created for window content if tab features are wanted
			TabControl tc = new TabControl();

			// Attached properties defined in TabControlManager class should be set to achieve tab moving, adding/removing tabs
			TabControlManager.SetIsMovable(tc, true);
			TabControlManager.SetCanAddTabs(tc, true);
			TabControlManager.SetCanRemoveTabs(tc, true);
			TabControlManager.SetIsSimulation(tc, true);

			// if ability to add new tabs is desired, TabControl has to have attached property "Factory" set.
			TabControlManager.SetFactory(tc, new AddOnFrameworkWindowFactory());
			Content = tc;

			/* In order to have link buttons functionality, tab control items must be derived from Tools.NTTabPage
            They can be added using extention method AddNTTabPage(NTTabPage page) */
			tc.AddNTTabPage(new AddOnFrameworkTab());

			// WorkspaceOptions property must be set
			Loaded += (o, e) =>
			{
				if (WorkspaceOptions == null)
					WorkspaceOptions = new WorkspaceOptions("AddOnFramework-" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString("N"), this);
			};
		}

Thanks,

Hello,

Thank you for the inquiry.

I tried this on my end and was also unable to see a visible change. I will need to research this to see if anything more is required or if this is just not working as expected. Once I have further information I will reply back here.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for the wait.

It looks like this is working, it is just not in the right place for this usage in the example provided and works differently than I had expected.

This would need to be implemented by each TabPage derivative you create and used logically based on the account selection events.

For example, in a tab where you have an account selector, you could implement this in the Loaded event for the Tab page to set a default, along with the selection handler for the account selector to toggle its value.

The syntax SetIsSimulation(this, true); would simply turn the sim mode on, and SetIsSimulation(this, false); would turn it off.

public class AddOnFrameworkTab : NTTabPage
{
    public AddOnFrameworkTab()
    {
        Loaded += (o, e) => 
        {
            TabControlManager.SetIsSimulation(this, true);
        };
    }
}

Later with the account selector:

accountSelector.SelectionChanged += (o, args) =>
{
	if(accountSelector.SelectedAccount.Name == "Sim101")
	{
		TabControlManager.SetIsSimulation(this, true);	
	} else {
		TabControlManager.SetIsSimulation(this, false);
	}
};

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse, you are awesome!

Just perfect.

Thank you so much,
