CS 0115 on OnMouseDown()

[trader_rick]

Hi guys,

I'm writing a context menu driven historical paper trader in NT8. (I've already gotten one working successfully in NT7).

The OnMouseDownEvent() function seems to have been replaced by OnMouseDown(), which is fine by me since it looks like it might make my job easier.

However, when I call the function in my indicator (which is working fine before I add this function), I get a CS0115 compilation error.

I have a #using NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.DrawingTools statement.

Hello trader_rick,

Thanks for opening the thread.

OnMouseDown() is only intended to be overridden when creating your own Drawing Tools. It would be expected to receive an error when trying to use it in an indicator. You will need to create an event handler to do this and assign it to ChartControl.MouseLeftButtonDown.

Our colleague Chelsea has some scripts on the forums that should be a good start for creating a context menu or for registering mouse clicks from an indicator.

Please let me know if I may be of further help.
