How to specify height/width for a button added in chart trader via AddOn logic

[funk10101]

I've gone through the AddOn example of creating a button in ChartTrader -> https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...r_an_addon.htm

The example creates a button that is the complete length of the remaining space. I want to specify the dimensions of that button, how/where do you define the button's size?

Hello funk10101,

Thank you for your post.

You would need to edit the WPF or XAML to set the Width and Height properties of the button.

Below is the Microsoft documentation for the Button Class.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.controls.button?view=windowsdesktop-8.0

We also have an existing sample script that demonstrates adding custom buttons to the Chart Trader via WPF modifications and setting different properties for the button, such as the height (ChartTraderCustomButtonsExample).
