I Require Help

[Entwaze]

Hello,
I am trying to modify the existing Chart trader,
I can put the buttons on CHART_TRADER_GRID, or the CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_GRID, right essentially, at bottom OR under PNL
I want to:
- MOVE PNL to TIPPY TOP
- APPEND buttons under existing buttons,
- REMOVE A: and B: display
- removes INSTRUMENT selector
I have devoured the SAMPLE_WPF_MOD script so please don't post me a link to that, if you're vendor maybe you can guide me,
I don't want to use Xaml Like the ATS Quadro Base which is like 5000 lines of code long to accomplish this so is there anyone that can help me name the UI elements and explain how to access them? here's the workflow: MAIN_CHART_WINDOW = System.Windows.Window.GetWindow (ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;

if (MAIN_CHART_WINDOW != null)
{
CHART_TRADER_GRID = (MAIN_CHART_WINDOW.FindFirst ("ChartWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader).Content as Grid;
}
if (CHART_TRADER_GRID != null)
{
CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_GRID = CHART_TRADER_GRID.Children[0] as Grid;

CHART_TRADER_BUTTON_STYLE = Application.Current.TryFindResource ("BasicEntryButton") as Style;

CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID = new Grid ();
Grid.SetColumnSpan (CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID, 3);

CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID.ColumnDefinitions.Add (new ColumnDefinition ());
CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID.ColumnDefinitions.Add (new ColumnDefinition () { Width = new GridLength ((double)Application.Current.FindResource ("MarginBase")) }); // separator column
CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID.ColumnDefinitions.Add (new ColumnDefinition ());

CHART_TRADER_ROW_UNDER_PNL = new RowDefinition () { Height = new GridLength (31) };


CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA = new Button[4];

for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
{
CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[i] = new Button ()
{
Content = string.Format ("Button {0}", i + 1),
Height = 30,
Margin = new Thickness (0, 0, 0, 0),
Padding = new Thickness (0, 0, 0, 0),
Style = CHART_TRADER_BUTTON_STYLE
};


CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[i].Background = Brushes.Gray;
CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[i].BorderBrush = Brushes.DimGray;

}

CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[0].Click += ChartTraderButtonMenu_Click;
CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[1].Click += ChartTraderButtonMenu_Click;


Grid.SetColumn (CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[1], 3);

for (int i = 0; i < 2; ++i)
CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID.Children.Add (CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_EXTRA[i]);






//ADD ROWS

if (!CHART_TRADER_EXTRA_BUTTONS_ACTIVE)
{
//CHART_TRADER_BUTTONS_GRID.RowDefinitions.Insert(CH ART_TRADER_BUTTONS_GRID.RowDefinitions.Count - 1, new RowDefinition(){ Height = new GridLength (31) }); // Insert the separator row

CHART_TRADER_GRID.RowDefinitions.Add (CHART_TRADER_ROW_UNDER_PNL);


Grid.SetRow (CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID, (0));
CHART_TRADER_GRID.Children.Add (CHART_TRADER_UPPER_GRID);
// add a new row (addedRow2) for our lowerButtonsGrid below the ask and bid prices and pnl display


CHART_TRADER_EXTRA_BUTTONS_ACTIVE = true;
}
}

Hello Entwaze,

Thanks for your patience.

We do not have a complete list of the automation ids, but you can find these for any visible objects you need.

You could find a demonstration video and more information on the forum thread linked below showing how to use the Microsoft Inspect tool to find automation ids of wpf objects in existing programs.
