Canīt reach NinjaScript from custom event

[FREEN]

Hi!

I canīt reach a NinjaScript method (Draw()) from a custom event. The behaviour is the same if a do it with or without passing the event through TriggerCustomEvent()/MyCustomHandler(). Most code is reached, such as Print() and MessageBox, wich makes it hard to find the logic causing the problem. Help is appreciated:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
..
 else if (State == State.Configure)
 {   
  wa = new WebAutomation();
  wa.IsLoggedInEvent += OnIsLoggedIn;
 }
}


protected void OnIsLoggedIn()
{
 TriggerCustomEvent(MyCustomHandler, 0, null);
}


public void MyCustomHandler(object state)
{
 DrawLabels();
}


protected void DrawLabels()
{
 if (CurrentBar != Bars.Count-2) return; // Draw on last bar only

 Print("Hello Print!"); // WORKS!
 MessageBox.Show("Hello MessageBox!" // WORKS!
 Draw.TextFixed(this, "textLabel", "Hello Label!"...); // FAILS!
}

Hello FREEN,

Thank you for your post.

Could you copy and paste your code for the DrawLabels() method exactly as it is in your script? Looks like there's a few things missing and I'd like to test exactly as you have it. The fact that the Print and the MessageBox show up lead me to believe you might have something wrong with the Draw statement.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Thanks Kate,

The same method (DrawLabels()) is also triggered in NT8īs OnBarUpdate() without issues:

  /// <summary>
  /// Draw text.
  /// </summary>
  protected void DrawLabels()
  {
   if (CurrentBar != Bars.Count-2) return; // Draw on last bar only

   string stringData =
   "\nNinjaTrader:"
   + "\n   Connection:\t\t" + connectionStatus
   + "\n   State:\t\t\t" + State +" (" + (int)State + ")"
   + "\n   CurrentBar:\t\t" + CurrentBar
   + "\n   CurrentBar time:\t" + Time[0].TimeOfDay
   + "\n\n"

   + priceBars.Label
   + tlc.Label
   + wa.Label;

   Draw.TextFixed(this, "textLabel", stringData, TextPosition.Center, ChartControl.Properties.ChartText, ChartControl.Properties.LabelFont, new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(49,51, 53)), new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromRgb(49,51, 53)), 100);
  }

Thanks Kate,

I used a different solution for my objective. Hence my problem is "solved", even though I dont know what really went wrong. You may delete this thread since I doubt it will help anyone else.

I appreciate your time and effort, thanks!
