How to get Chart interval selection in Addon

[Airwave]

Hello everyone,

I try to identify within an Addon which Chart interval the user is requesting within the minute selection.

I looked into barsRequest, eg. barsRequest.Bars.BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodValue, but it's always 1 Minute.



How to get the real selection?

Thanks in advance.

Hello, thanks for your post.

See this post that has an example on accessing each ChartControl object of each chart window within the workspace:

You should be able to access the bar period value from there, please set up a test to confirm.

Kind regards.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

A user had a similar issue here:

Was resolved by using the NTMenuItem:

There is an example on that forum thread as well.

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inqury.

Ahh, sooorrryy I mixed up two of my threads and posted in the wrong one. Think that lead into some missunderstanding.
I deleted my post here and added to the right one.

Thanks for understanding.

Hi there,

with protected override void OnWindowDestroyed(Window window) I get everything, what I need.

But this event is not executed when a user does a selection within following menu.
Is there an event or other possibility to get the users selection?

Thanks in advance

Hello Airwave, thanks for your reply.

Accessing chat functions and events through an addon is not officially supported so there is nothing documented showing how to do this, unfortunately.

[Airwave]

Hey Chris,

but unofficial that is possible? Is there a way of researching this?

Thanks

Hello Airwave, thanks for your reply.

I am not sure if it is possible. You would need to look through the relevant objects in Intellisense to see what undocumented events are available to use.

Best regards.

Hello everyone,

Hi Airwave,

I asked a related question and was quite pleased with the reponse here https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...-ticks-per-bar

Does that info provide any help?

Thanks a lot, hedgeplay,

That guide me in the write direction. :-)


But, I'm at the next boarder now:

I need to identify the chart window in any way in the IAdapter.RequestBars adapter:

void IAdapter.RequestBars(IBars bars, Action<IBars, ErrorCode, string> callback, IProgress progress)
{
<how to identify the chart window here?>
}

Is there a possibility? Or is there another way to get the selected period in this adapter?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Airwave,

I have not developed against the iAdapter constructs so wont be much help on this topic.

All I have is.... I believe I remember a post where the post details and attached example DLL apps were posted as reference to check in regards to a question about using iadapter https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...art#post793626

I don't feel strongly this will be a direct reference for what you seek.
