Get and Set values from ChartTrader using a Drawing tool

[alejandro888]

Hello,

Hello, I am developing a new drawing tool where I require access to the NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.QuantityUpDown and NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector

How can actually have access to it from a Drawing Tool? I tried adding it and won't work vs when adding the same snippet from an Indicator works

NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector selector;
selector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("C hartTraderControlAccountSelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector;
Print(selector.SelectedAccount.ToString());

NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.QuantityUpDown quantitySelector = (Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst(" ChartTraderControlQuantitySelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.QuantityUpDown);
quantitySelector.Value = 10;

Regards,
ale

Hello alejandro888,

Thanks for your message.

I tested this in a DrawingTool, and the snippet works in OnRender as long you use chartControl as opposed to ChartControl. There were some extra spaces where your automation ID strings are, I am not sure if that was a leftover from copying to the forum or possibly a leftover from the forum copied to your script. With the spaces removed and chartControl used, the test works fine.

If there is any other insight I can share, please let me know.
