Custom grid for buttons

[Leeroy_Jenkins]

I have WPF buttons for ATM strategy. I wanna move them in 2 columns. Any educational resources to do this? Preferably simple.
Is it possible to move buttons on panel 2 where my indicators are plotted?
Thanks.

As I understand I should change this part:

 System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition column1 = new System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition();
System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition column2 = new System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition();
System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition column3 = new System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition();
System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition column4 = new System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition();
System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition column5 = new System.Windows.Controls.ColumnDefinition();

myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column1);
myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column2);
myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column3);
myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column4);
myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column5);

 System.Windows.Controls.Grid.SetColumn(longButton, 0);
System.Windows.Controls.Grid.SetColumn(shortButton , 1);

System.Windows.Controls.Grid.SetColumn(pendinglong Button, 2);
System.Windows.Controls.Grid.SetColumn(pendingshor tButton, 3);
System.Windows.Controls.Grid.SetColumn(beButton, 4);

Hello Leeroy_Jenkins,

Thank you for your reply.

You can reduce your number of columns to 2 and add some rows to the columns to contain your buttons. Here's a publicly available example from Microsoft's documentation of adding rows to columns using C# code and placing content in the correct column/row location:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/desktop/wpf/controls/how-to-create-a-grid-element?view=netframeworkdesktop-4.8

As far as moving the buttons to the panel with the indicator, if you wanted to do that you should have the indicator add the buttons and have the indicator trigger methods within the strategy to submit orders from them. A script accessing the UserControlCollection will only have that on the panel it is added to.
