Tooltip on SharpDX,Rectangle

[Mindset]

Is this possible?
I can't seem to find any code for this.

Hello Mindset,

Thank you for your post.

I suggest reviewing the following help guide page for info about using SharpDX for custom rendering:

• https://ninjatrader.com/support/help..._rendering.htm

There is a section on that page titled "SharpDX Lines and Shapes" that contains information about different shapes, including Rectangles. It has links to additional resources and also a code snippet.

For an example in the platform that renders different shapes, please review the source code in the NinjaScript Editor for the SampleCustomRender indicator.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance.

Hi Emily
Yes I read all that hence my question. so the answer is that there is no basic tooltiptext using SharpDX?
As it turns out I no longer need this - I found a better way of exposing what I wanted - but it would be nice to know for future reference.

What are you referring to as tooltiptext? Do you mean the Intelliprompt in the NinjaScript Editor?

Please elaborate and provide an example of what you are referring to so I may better understand and assist you.

I appreciate your patience.

I see you contributed to that thread as well. As wbennettjr mentioned in post #10, SharpDX elements are being rendered and are not objects that can have a ToolTip attached to them.

ToolTips are a general C# concept that is not specific to NinjaTrader. Our support team does not offer general C# educational services. For more information, please see the following publicly available link from the Microsoft site:

Ok thank you.
I will look into that.
Seems a strange omission on behalf of the SharpDX library, however.
