NinjaTrader interactive prompt

[Leope]

Hello,
Is there anyway to have an indicator get a user input , while in runtime (e,g , not indicator parameters) ?
For example , I want my indicator to print out a message - "do you want to continue?" , and the indicator will then wait until an answer is provided. User will then provide an answer and indicator will continue accordingly.
Is this possible ? If yes, please point me to relevant documentation .
Thanks

Hello Leope,

Thank you for the post.

While this technically is possible in C#, this is not something which would be documented in NinjaScript's documentation nor is something we have a sample of. You could research using C# message boxes to take user input. A possible search term for NT8 would be "C# WPF MessageBox OK Cancel"

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms602949.aspx

You can execute various types of code in runtime such as a button click or alert/message box, so something like this is possible it is just outside the scope of normal NinjaScript support.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello Jesse ,
Thanks ! I will look into your suggestions.
If I want to use the MessageBox class, do I need to add another "namespace" or another "using" statement to my Ninjascript ?
Thanks again

Hello Leope,

Yes all the normal C# rules apply here, if you want to use it you will need either the fully qualified name or to add a using statement.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
