NTMessageBoxWindow in Addon

[WHICKED]

I am looking to make a NTMEssageBox in an Addon - however this addon does not have a way to get the ChartControl object that is required for the Window parameter.

Is there a method to create this MessageBox by creating or linking the MessageBox to NT 8 or recreate the Window object that is needed?

Hello WHICKED,

Thank you for your post.

There's an example of launching a message box from a button press in an add-on in our help guide for NTMessageboxSimple.Show() in our help guide here:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/ntmessageboxsimple_show().htm

Does your add-on not include a window? You could loop through the charts and find a ChartControl object that way to show the message box.

foreach (var window in NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.AllWindows)
{
// check if the found window is a Chart window, if not continue looking
if (!(window is NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart)) continue;

window.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() =>
{
// try to cast as a Chart, if it fails it will be null
var foundChart = window as NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart;

// make sure we found a chart
if (foundChart == null) return;

// get the chart control
ChartControl chartControl = foundChart.ActiveChartControl;

if (chartControl == null) return;

// deal with message box here

}));

}
