Any examples of putting buttons on the BOTTOM of ChartTrader?

That is where my cursor is at rest.

Thx.

Hello llanqui,

Please see the SampleWPFModifications reference sample.

thank you

is there any documentation on what this grid looks like? I want to put the buttons at the bottom of the grid.....


// this is the entire chart trader area grid
chartTraderGrid = (chartWindow.FindFirst("ChartWindowChartTraderCont rol") as ChartTrader).Content as Grid;

Hello llanqui,

There is not documentation on the WPF of NinjaTrader windows. Modifying the interface is allowed, as long as you are not disabling any functionality, however this is advanced C# that is beyond NinjaSCript and you will need to inspect and write the code yourself.

That said, the example puts two buttons at the bottom of chartTrader below all of the other buttons. Your controls also have a vertical alignment.

well, it seems I'll have to add a bunch of grid rows to fill in the empty space, so the buttons can be at the bottom of CT

because my cursor rests at the bottom right of the chart, for scalping it is important to keep the mouse and keyboard actions to a minimum

I will also experiment with Canvas and see if I can define one for ChartTrader...then I'll be able to put the buttons at the bottom easier

Hello llanqui,

Have you set the vertical alignment of your grid to bottom?
