Monitor for certain thresholds and open/update values in separate window

[WHICKED]

Is there a code example of creating a ninjatrader window that has a gauge that is updated via an indicator monitoring for certain values?

Hello WHICKED,

I am not aware of a specific sample of that but you could easily pass a value to a window you created using a public property in the windows class. There is a sample of creating a new window in the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t_overview.htm

The addon sample contains the details on how to create a NT style window. You could make a new window using that approach which is opened through the control center or you could use the same general code (window class and button handler code to show the window) from other scripts like an indicator.

To pass data to a window, if you have an instance of the window you would just use that:

myWindow.MyPublicProperty = someValue;

If you don't have an instance to the window you could find your window in the NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.AllWindows collection and get the instance from there.

In the window class you could use a Timer to check the property and update the UI. You could also make part of the public property set the UI by setting the controls value in the setter.



I look forward to being of further assistance.
