Chart Toolbar code

[vantojo]

Thanks for the ChartCustomToolBarExample indicator.

I have questions:

1) how to right justify items added to the toolbar (because trading is on the right side of the chart)

2) I have more than one indicator per chart that (in NT7) shares the same toolbar. How can I do this, with the ChartCustomToolBarExample indicator?

3) This is quite a bit of specialized code inside an indicator to add the toolbar and items. To keep the lines of code down would it be possible to make this (similary to ChartCustomToolBarExample) a Class?

Questions to the community also...thanks

Hello vantojo,

This would fall under general C# and WPF and is not documented by NinjaTrader. These inquiries may be better suited for a forum dedicated to general WPF and C# like stackoverflow.

You may be able to set the HorizontalAlignment on some WPF objects to right.


Below is a link to an example that can be added to multiple tabs on the same chart by detecting if the current tab is the tab of the indicator.

You may be able a custom class, this would fall under general C# and would not be documented by NinjaTrader.
