Custom NTMsgBox in constructor for indicator

[WHICKED]

Is there a way to call the NTMsgBox .show method in the constructor of an indicator?

Hello WHICKED,

Thank you for your reply.

We would suggest doing that from State.DataLoaded using a dispatcher:

Okay got that. How can I get the alert to pop up on the Control Center and not the chart window?

example code:

NTMsgeBox....(Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.OwnerC hart as DependencyObject) - this pops it up on the chart, but how do you get it to popup on the Control Center?

Hello WHICKED,

Thank you for your reply.

I'm unsure what you mean by pop up on the Control Center - indicators would be applied either to a chart, Market Analyzer or SuperDOM window, so where would you actually be wanting the message box to be triggered from and what is the behavior exactly you're wanting?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

so instead of popping up the dialog/msgbox on the chart - I would like it to pop up on the control center - basically it would run from the chart but would appear over the control center.

Hello WHICKED,

Thank you for your reply.

You'd need to use a dispatcher, loop through the open windows and find the Control Center window, then use that window as the context for the message box. I'm attaching a simple example indicator that simply adds a button to a chart. When the button on the chart is pushed, it will pop up a message box over the Control Center.
