Is there a way to control the order of ToolBar Buttons?

[llanqui]

I have several buttons on the Chart Toolbar and would like to control the order they are created on the toolbar...

Is there a way to do this?

Related Question: Is there a way to control the order in which indicators are loaded on a chart (that would fix the prior question I imagine...)

thx

Hello llanqui,

Thank you for your note.

I am not sure what you are referring to for controlling the order the buttons are created on the toolbar. Have you reviewed the reference sample for Creating Chart WPF Modifications from an Indicator? Perhaps this will address your first question:

Otherwise, I think for your second question you may be referring to changing the z-order of objects on the chart. The change the z-order of an object, such as an indicator, you must first select the object by left-clicking it. Next, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and scroll your mouse wheel up or down to move the object to a higher or lower z-order. For more information:

To clarify....I have multiple indicators that create toolbar buttons. One toolbar might have seven buttons from three different indicators.

Apparently the order the indicators are loaded is the order the buttons are created. on the toolbar??

Is there a way to re-order the indicator list for a chart, so that I can control which indicators are loaded first (if they are loaded in order of the indicator list??

In Ninja 7 there seemed to be no way to control the order in which the indicators were loaded.

I'll look at z-order, but initially I think that is which priority they have on overlaying each other, not the order they are loaded, or the order they draw their objects.

Hello llanqui,

Thank you for the clarification.

I see what you are saying now. Yes, the buttons should be created based on the order of the indicators on the indicator list. The order determines the order in which indicators are loaded to the chart. This order may be adjusted using the "up" and "down" options in the Indicators window:

You should be able to adjust the order of the toolbars and then click Apply to see the changes applied.

Works exactly as I needed. I recently ported from NT7 and this feature was not there... in NT7 the order loaded was never consistent anyway...

Many thanks...
