File browser or File Dialog box

[luxurious_04]

Can someone give me some help on NT8 indicator that opens or browse a file? Something like it opens a dialog box for me to select file to open. Thanks.

Hello luxurious_04,

Thanks for your post.

Here is an example of a file picker property:

[ NinjaScriptProperty ]
[ Display (Name = "MyFile", Order =1 , GroupName= "Parameters" )]
[ PropertyEditor ("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.FilePathPicker" , Filter= "Any Files (*.*)|*.*" )]
public string MyFile
{ get ; set ; }

For a working example of a sound file picker, please see the code for: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...d=7&linkid=906

Thanks Paul, how about the telling the chart that the last bar painted is at bar 36 or whatever number? In NT7, we can do it by ChartControl.LastBarPainted = 36 and last bar painted will go at bar 36 as well as the horizontal scroll will move directly. How can we do that in NT8?

Hello luxurious_04,

Thanks for your reply.

In NT7 the chartcontrol information was not documented, in NT8 you can now find this in the helpguide.
Here is the chart control section: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...artcontrol.htm

Here is the NT8 equivalent:

or

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?lasttimepainted.htm

Setting last bar painted will move the chart to that bar.

It will move visually? I mean if I set it like this ChartControl.LastSlotPainted = 36 the scroll will automatically scroll to that bar?
