Access the current color style properties

[PopovMP]

Hello,

I'm developing an add on with custom charts and controls and want to utilize the current color scheme.

I'll have something like the "Cumulative Net Profit" chart. If I can use this control will be perfect !



If it is not exposed publicly, I need to access its main colors. By looking at the image I can distinguish at least the following properties:

- BackColor
- ForeColor
- GridColor
- GridFillColor
- GeenLineColor
- GreenAreaColor
- RedLineColor
- RedAreaColor

Of course I can take these colors from the screenshot, but they change for each color scheme.

Also, how I can access another base colors of the scheme?
Can I also have a list of the StaticResource properties in xaml.

Hello PopovMP,

Thank you for your post.

There would not be a means to pull the control's properties/values directly. You can pull the Skin name applied using NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.GeneralOptions.Skin. If you needed to read a specific color used you could potentially utilize System.IO.StreamReader. We have a sample on reading an external file at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3476

Aside from reading the Skin XAML file, I am not aware of a means to pull the colors directly in NinjaScript.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
