Need a way to loop over all charts

[gambcl]

I am trying to loop over all open charts and discover ones running a specific indicator.

I am able to loop over all windows and check that they are charts, but this seems to only provide me with the charts on active tabs.
Is there a way to also loop over charts on background tabs?

This is what I have so far:

                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.Invoke(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;

                        if (foundChart.ActiveChartControl != null)
                        {
                            foreach (var indicator in foundChart.ActiveChartControl.Indicators)
                            {
                                // Check for MySpecificIndicator.
                                if (indicator is NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.MySpecificIndicator)
                                {
                                    if (foundChart.ActiveChartControl.Instrument != null)
                                    {
                                        // Found a chart with MySpecificIndicator.
​                                        result.Add(foundChart.ActiveChartControl.Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name);
                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }));
                }

Hello gambcl,

There would not be a supported or documented way of getting indicators from all charts from inactive tabs.

This may or may not be possible using unsupported custom c#.

The example linked below uses unsupported code to list chart indicators you may find helpful.

Thanks Chelsea, I tried the attached code, but it also only loops over charts on active tabs.

I'll look for another way.
