Programmatically get Strategy.IsEnabled state?

[login_dejavu]

Hello guys,

is it possible somehow to get programmatically Strategy.IsEnabled property without UI extraction FrameworkElements mess?

I tried ((Strategy)Account.Strategies[0]).IsEnabled but this is not affected anyhow by clicking Enable/Disable in strategy Tab.

Just for context: I'm doing that inside Add-on.

Please advice

Hello login_dejavu,

Thank you for the post.

Currently there is no way to access that information besides unsupported/undocumented means. It is by design that strategy instances cannot be managed from external code, there are a few feature requests for different aspects of controlling strategies from external code, the most related to this post that I can see would be to allow enabling a strategy from external code: SFT-2844. Are you specifically trying to just read the value or also control the strategy? I will forward a vote or create a new request depending on the overall goal here.

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.

Hi Jesse,

I was more referring to get read-only state, I do not want to enable/disable it via code.
Now you intrigued me, what did you mean by unsupported/undocumented methods? Now I want that, if it is not hacky UI tree scans

Hello login_dejavu,

I was just referring to what you mentioned as unsupported and undocumented, you made it sound like you are already doing something to get the value:

is it possible somehow to get programmatically Strategy.IsEnabled property without UI extraction FrameworkElements mess?

I am unaware of a way to access the value in a correct way directly through NinjaScript and I don't see specifically reading the value in the feature request. I will see if we can append the existing request to include reading the property otherwise I will make a new request for that.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
