How to draw FORM/WINDOW (with buttons) on chart?

[ttodua]

Hi.
I have veiwed the sample indicators, which create Toolbar, Sidebar ... etc in Ninjatrader.
However, I havent see the one, which draws form-window over the chart, like this:

(instead of sidebar, which cuts much space from chart).
can you advise something?

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

To draw controls on the chart like Buttons, you could use the UserControlCollection:

Otherwise, any type of renderings can be accomplished using OnRender. You can see a sample of this concept in the Sample Custom Render indicator that comes with the platform.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you ChelseaB

I need to tell that I am so frustrated about the very reduced posibilities of positioning and design form elements in the chart :/
