Add custom drawing tool to "Drawing tools" menu

[Powerbucker]

Hi,

I've developed a custom drawing tool, but I don't know how to add it to "Drawing tools" context menu

Thanks

Hello Powerbucker,

Drawing tools get automatically added to the menu assuming they are programmed in the correct way, have you compared what you made against the other drawing tools in the NinjaScript editor? You should have an OnStateChange method and also a Name = " " string which need your custom items name as a starting point. In order to draw the tool you also will need to add the mouse handling for the anchors before it can be drawn.

Hi,

thanks, now it's working. How could I assign a keyboard shortcut to this drawing tool?

Thanks

Hello Powerbucker,

You can set up hotkeys for drawing objects in the control center -> tools -> hotkeys menu under the chart section.
