Account and Instrument Selectors in Property Grids

[jeronymite]

How would one incorporate Account and Instrument Selectors in Property Grids? The intention is to allow an Account or Instrument to be selected from the relevant selector as a property of an AddOn.

EDIT Update:

I've found this for Instruments and it works well enough:

[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.InstrumentPicker")]
public Instrument MyInstrument{ get; set; }

However, it displays Instruments in the selector with "Default" or an Exchange; e.g. "EURAUD Default" or "BTCGBP Gdax".

How does one display just the Instrument name alone?

... and Accounts?

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

[TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AccountNameConverter))]
public string AccountName { get; set; }

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.InstrumentSelector))]
[Display(Name="Select Instrument", GroupName = "Parameters", Order = 0)]
public NinjaTrader.Cbi.Instrument InstrumentInput
{ get; set; }

Thanks, Chelsea.

The Accounts example works well.

The Instrument example still displays the Instrument name with "Default" or an Exchange name. How can one eliminate the display of "Default" or an Exchange name? In other words, only the Instrument name alone.

Thanks.

Hello jeronymite,

I'm not seeing a way to do that. It might be necessary to create a custom List<string> input of the instrument names and make a property of this.

Thanks, Chelsea.

The custom List is not suitable, sadly, since any Instrument is possible in this AddOn, which is for commercial use.

The InstrumentSelector does not display the extra information when added to an AddOn window, so it is "interesting" that it does so here in a Property Grid.

Thanks.
