Status Table

[barbaros]

Is there a way to show/draw status table like this on charts?

Hi barbaros, thanks for posting. It looks like this addon is using the OnRender method to render custom text. We use SharpDX graphics library in the OnRender method to do many high-performance graphic renderings. We have an example of many things SharpDX/OnRender can do (including text rendering) in the sample script in the Indicators folder "SampleCustomRender". Another way to render text is to use the Draw.Text command

Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

Thank you for responding quickly. This is actually from TradingView. I want to replicate this functionality in NT8. I can't seem to find convenience functions to do so though. Is it all need to be drawn manually? There is a table functionality in TradingView. TextFixed is very limiting. I can't justify the text into the text field, and cannot stack textfields in horizontal or vertical rows/columns.

Hi barbaros, the table like this would need to be done manually or have a custom drawing tool made that will do this.

I was able to use WPF controls and constructed the table in a Grid. Works well but still wishing there was a better toolkit from NT. I should be focusing on the logic of the indicator and not be constructing UI elements from scratch.
