Trading Panel Floating Pad

[designer01]

Are there any guidelines/instructions how to code Trading Panels that are floating in the NT8 window with Buttons, Scroll downs, Boxes etc. as shown in image below?
Thank you.

Hello designer01,

Our support does not have any examples with floating panels.

I can provide the reference samples on working with WPF and the UserControlCollection (where this would this go).

A link to a google search for 'C# wpf floating panel'.

I have an example that shows how to put information in a new window you might find helpful.

As well as general examples of addon windows.

Chelsea,

I wanted to send this your way to see if you have any suggestions:

Sorry to attach it to this post, it is unrelated.

Is this feature something that could be implemented? It is very cumbersome to have to go back to Tradingview just for this:

Hello dwbstreet,

If you are trying to synchronize the scrolling, NinjaTrader has global crosshairs that will scroll the time axis of all charts with the same instrument.

Below is a link to the help guide.

Chelsea,

Thanks for the prompt response.
I don't think what I am looking for is possible. I haven't seen it on the NT ecosystem either. Was looking for synchronized zoom between windows.Found auto tab from a vendor which is awesome, but without synchronized zoom it limits it.

You've helped me with the z-layer issue in the past, and I knew you would be the one to ask. Thanks for your input here.

Hello dwbstreet,

I would agree what you are wanting is not likely possible. Zooming or changing the time or price axis is not possible through NinjaScript.
