Hello alagu,

Its not recommended to call Drawing objects in OnRender(). You should only be rendering with SharpDX (using RenderTarget.DrawText()) in OnRender().

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/sharpdx_direct2d1_rendertarget_drawtext.htm

Call drawing objects like Draw.TextFixed() from OnBarUpdate().

In your for loop, instead of making separate strings, concatenate new lines to an existing string using \r\n to make new lines.

string myString = string.Empty;

for (int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
myString += "\r\nNew Line " + i.ToString();
}

// myString now has 3 lines
