Adding Textboxes and checkmark boxes to chartTrader.

[ballboy11]

Is there an example to add textboxes and checkmarks to charttrader as well as how to access these objects?

Hello ballboy11,

I'm not aware of an example of exactly that, but would be do-able.

I have a few examples you could pieces of this from.

Preventing the overlay instrument selector and adding a textbox.

Example with a checkbox.

Hello RubenCazorla,

Are you calling e.Handled() in the preview key down as demonstrated in the PreventInstrumentOverlaySelectorWithTextBoxExample _NT8 example?

[RubenCazorla]

true, now works, try to resolve if i press any normal key open window to change market(NQ,ES,..)

Hello RubenCazorla,

If you want the instrument overlay to appear for some key presses and not others, have a condition to recognize the key press and don't call e.Handled() if its not the key press you are looking for.
