Customize output window

[NinjaTrader_Jesse]

Hello amul_shail2020,

So that I can direct this post could you tell me if this is for NT7 or NT8? It looks like this thread is from 2010 so I wanted to make sure we get you the correct information. I would suggest in the future to just create a new thread instead of posting on very old threads.

The output window in either platform cannot be modified in the way you are asking, the output is placed at the bottom line and scrolls up. You could make a custom window in NT8 which does what you are asking but that would only contain the specific output you send to it and not normal output from NinjaScript.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hi,

I have some custom code which uses the print output window to show the values as they are printed. I want to find out if there is any setting or script coding option to change the behaviour of how the newline prints in the output window.
Currently, the new line(i.e. the latest line) prints at the bottom of the page.
I would like the new line(i.e. the latest line) print at the top of the page.
Can this be done within the output window?

Thank you for your help.

Thanks Jesse. It is NT8.
Are you able to provide me or point me towards some sample code for creating this custom window which you mention ?

Hello amul_shail2020,

You can find a sample addon that uses its own "output" in the following link. The addon sample basic uses a WPF control to display data.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
