How do I draw Button on Chart Trader instead of Chart?

[cre8able]

I have the basic code to draw buttons on the chart below. Adding more rows and columns is pretty easy.

How do I draw the same buttons on the Chart Trader panel?

I assume/hope there is a simple addition that moves it from the chart to the chart trader, but I haven't been able to find it

thanks

        private System.Windows.Controls.Grid myGrid;
​



Dispatcher.InvokeAsync((() =>
                {
                    myGrid = new System.Windows.Controls.Grid
                    {
                        Name = "MyCustomGrid", HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right, VerticalAlignment = VerticalAlignment.Top
                    };

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

                    myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column1);
                    myGrid.ColumnDefinitions.Add(column2);

                    longButton = new System.Windows.Controls.Button
                    {
                        Name = "LongButton", Content = "LONG", Foreground = Brushes.White, Background = Brushes.Green
                    };

                    shortButton = new System.Windows.Controls.Button
                    {
                        Name = "ShortButton", Content = "SHORT", Foreground = Brushes.Black, Background = Brushes.Red
                    };

                    longButton.Click += OnButtonClick;
                    shortButton.Click += OnButtonClick;

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

                    myGrid.Children.Add(longButton);
                    myGrid.Children.Add(shortButton);

                    UserControlCollection.Add(myGrid);
                }));​

Hello cre8able,

Thanks for your post.

Creating custom Chart Trader buttons could be done using WPF modifications in a NinjaScript.

Below is a reference sample called SampleWPFModifications that you could view which demonstrates creating custom Chart Trader buttons.
