Account Selector

[lucyb]

I have a workspace arrange with windows so small I cannot see the Account which is selected in the account selector. To combat this I wrote an indicator which displays the account name on the actually chart. I got the code from the forum search:

            ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync((Action)(() =>
            {
                //You have to put the stuff below within this ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync((Action)(() =>, because you are trying to access something on a different thread.
                xAlselector = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst("ChartTraderControlAccountSelector") as NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.AccountSelector;
                //Print(xAlselector.SelectedAccount.ToString());
                Draw.TextFixed(this, "Account Name", TopPadding_String + xAlselector.SelectedAccount.ToString() + BottomPadding_String, TextPosition, MyBrush, MyFont, Brushes.Transparent, MyBackground, MyBackgroundOpacity);            
            }));​

The problem is, the text doesn't update if the account is changed. I have to reload the chart. is there way to detect the account has been changed and update the text`? Having the code inside onBarUpdate with onEachTick doesn't update the account fixed text.

Hello lucyb,

Add an event handler to the <AccountSelector>.SelectionChanged event.

See the example with sample code below.
