Control the scroll characteristics of the NinjaScript Output panels

[goodknight777]

I am sending information from a custom indicator to the "Output 1" panel. After sending a new line of information, I would like for the panel to scroll automatically (without human interaction) to the bottom of the panel. Is there a means of doing this inside my indicator, or can the properties of the panel be manipulated where the last input line is immediately visible without manually dragging the scroll bar?

I might be able to use the “Find” feature of the panels, in conjunction with using a time stamp. How would I communicate (using my indicator) with the “Find” feature of the panel if I used the last timestamp as my “Find” criteria?

Hello goodknight777,

Thank you for your post.

In previous versions, what you have described where the NinjaScript Output window automatically scrolls to the bottom with each new line of information was the default behavior. Since the update to version 8.1.2.0, this is no longer the behavior and this has been reported to the development team via tracking ID NT-10921 to be updated in a future version of NinjaTrader. When an update has been implemented to have the window scroll with new prints, the ID number will appear in the release notes:

This has also been discussed in another thread here:
