Title Bar Menu Item Icon Color

[FatCanary]

I'm aware that the color of a custom menu item icon can be changed using:

Foreground = Brushes.Green

Is there a way to change the color but also to keep the icon color changing slightly (highlighting) on mouse hover?

Hello FatCanary,

Thank you for your note.

That would generally be done with WPF Styles.

Here's a general example from this publicly available Stack Overflow link of what I mean by this:

Thanks Kate.

Where would I need to put the XAML code?

Hello FatCanary,

Thank you for your reply.

You can load XAML from a file that you'd want to put in the Addons folder along with the .cs file. AddOnFramework shows how to load XAML from a file, and SampleWPFModifications shows how you can grab some of the button styles NT uses.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thanks for the information Kate.

When using:

Application.Current.TryFindResource("MainMenuItem" ) as Style

In what file is ''MainMenuItem" being searched for?
My understanding is that it would be in BluePrint.xaml. However, I can't find it in that file.

Hello FatCanary,

Thank you for your reply.

Application.Current.TryFindResource("MainMenuItem" ) is looking for an internal resource to NinjaTrader, this would not be located in BluePrint.xaml.

Here's some documentation from Microsoft that's publicly available on working with Styles with WPF:

Thanks Kate, that is what I suspected.

As it is an internal resource, does that mean the MainMenuItem style cannot be modified by the user?

And, from what you said in an earlier post, I could create my own 'main menu item' style in a xaml file, and use that for custom menu icons?

[NinjaTrader_Kate]

Hello FatCanary,

Thank you for your reply.

Correct, you can't modify that resource as it is internal.

You could certainly make your own menu item style in XAML, and load that like the example in Add-on Framework, yes.

Lovely. Thanks for the confirmation.
