Hot Key

[ballboy11]

I got a hot key kind of working. How do I create a multiple key in order to re set my profit target.

this is what I have so far


}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{



this.ChartPanel.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventHandler(OnKeyDown);
this.ChartPanel.KeyUp += new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventHandler(OnKeyUp);

}
else if (State == State.Terminated)
{

this.ChartPanel.KeyDown -= OnKeyDown;
this.ChartPanel.KeyUp -= OnKeyUp;

}
}



public void OnKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl && !cntKey )
{
cntKey = true;
Print("Down");
}
}

public void OnKeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl && cntKey)
{
cntKey = false;
Print("Up");
}
}

What I need it to do a CRTL 1 or another hot key in order to re set my targets and stop losses
I can have up to 6 targets so I will be making a ctrl shift 1 through 6. I can get my price data from mouse clicked.

Hello ballboy11,

Thanks for your post.

Attached is some code that can demonstrate checking when two keys are pressed. I used an indicator for simplicity, but the code can be used in a strategy as well.

public class KeyTest : Indicator
{
    private bool ctrl;
    private bool one;
    protected override void OnStateChange()
    {
        if (State == State.SetDefaults)
        {
            Description                                    = @"Demonstrates reading two keys pressed at once.";
            Name                                        = "KeyTest";
            Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
        }
        else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
        {
            ChartPanel.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventHandler(OnKeyDown);
            ChartPanel.KeyUp += new System.Windows.Input.KeyEventHandler(OnKeyUp);
        }
        else if (State == State.Terminated)
        {
            if (ChartPanel != null)
            {
                ChartPanel.KeyDown -= OnKeyDown;
                ChartPanel.KeyUp -= OnKeyUp;
            }
        }
    }

    public void OnKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl)
        {
            ctrl = true;
        }

        if (e.Key == Key.NumPad1)
        {
            one = true;
        }

        if (ctrl && one)
        {
            Print("Both pressed");
        }
    }

    public void OnKeyUp(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Key.LeftCtrl)
        {
            ctrl = false;
        }

        if (e.Key == Key.NumPad1)
        {
            one = false;
        }
    }
}

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
