UserControlCollection different when enabling strategy from ControlCentre

[saltminer]

Hi,
I have a strategy which places a corporate logo on the chart, by placing a control in the UserControlCollection. This works just fine when the strategy is enabled from the chart's Strategy dialogue window, or by pressing F5 to reload the chart.
If, however, the strategy is currently not enabled and the checkbox to enable it is clicked in the Strategies tab of the Control Centre, the logo is not visible. Note this is the same strategy, still running on a chart, but just its Enable property set from a different location. It is as if the UserControlCollection is not the same one if the strategy is Enabled on the Control Centre.
I even wrote some code to wait until the chart window is active, and THEN putting the logo on, but there was no improvement - it is still missing if the original enabling occurred from the Control Centre.

Thoughts?
Thanks.

Hello saltminer,

Thanks for your post.

I'll attach an example from the NT user apps that adds controls to user control collection. Testing here the buttons appear when enabled from the control center (after the strategy was initially loaded on the chart). Please test to see if you see the same on your end.

Hi,
thanks - I moved the code to State.Historical (which is a far more sensible place for it to be) and that solved the issue.
