Prevent indicator being selected with click

[saltminer]

Hi,
I've written a custom crosshair, implemented as an indicator, which uses OnRender to draw. It works fine, but unfortunately Ninja always thinks that any click on the chart is a click on the indicator. The result is that a right-click won't produce the standard contextual menu which includes order placement items. Instead there is the much smaller indicator-specific contextual menu containing "Copy, Remove, Alert, Properties".
Is there a way via code that can prevent an indicator from being regarded as selected?

Thanks,
saltminer

Hello saltminer,

Yes, the IsInHitTest would prevent the indicator from being clicked on.

The DValueArea indicator uses this to prevent renderings from being selected.

I'm excited to hear you are making custom crosshairs with sharpdx.
There are a few NinjaTrader 8 users that have inquired about this and this was in my list of indicators to someday port.

Would you be willing to share your work when you have completed the script?

Hi Chelsea,
thanks, DValueArea's use of IsInHitTest was the solution I needed.

Unfortunately the custom crosshair tool was a paid project for a client, so I am unable to share the work.

Cheers,
