Chart > Toolbar > IntervalsDisplay > String, change via code?

[balltrader]

Hello,

I am looking for programmatic access to change the Display string shown on a chart's Toolbar IntervalsDisplay control.

[B]NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.IntervalsDisplay[/B]

I want to change the string based on events in my custom BarType, such as during OnDataPoint,
and not just after the config gui is closed,
i.e. setting the value of "Name" during a state will work when the bars are loaded,
and the value of Name can be changed during OnDataPoint, (tested using Print() statements)
but the string displayed in the Presentation layer does not change.

I also wonder if I can change the Input string displayed for Indicators at the same time?

Thanks.

Hello balltrader,

Thanks for your post.

The Name property in State.Configure determines how the name of the BarsType will display in the Interval drop-down menu on chart.

This property will also control how the name of the BarsType will display in the indicator label on a chart.

You may see this by looking at the State.Configure section of the UniRenko custom BarsType script linked below.

UniRenko: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...nko-bartype-8/

It is not supported to call the Name property outside of State.Configure, however, you may try changing the Name property dynamically in OnDataPoint() at your own discretion.

Please let me know if I may assist further.
