Text in a Textbox with Hyperlink

[FossilBlade]

Hi There,

Is there any sample for a strategy or indicator that shows how to create a text box which exposes a hypertext(html link).
The idea is to give a link in the text box which is the guide for the strategy/indicator.

In order to make a hyperlink you would need to manually code the strategy, this would not be an option when using the builder. To do this you would have to create new PropertyEditor in the addon folder, this is the code to do that.

namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns
{
public class HyperLinkAddon : PropertyEditor
{
public HyperLinkAddon()
{
InlineTemplate = CreateTemplate();
}

DataTemplate CreateTemplate()
{
const string xamlTemplate = @"
<DataTemplate >
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width=""30""/>
<ColumnDefinition Width=""*""/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<TextBlock>
<Hyperlink NavigateUri=""[URL="http://www.google.com%22%22/"]http://www.google.com""[/URL]
Command =""pg:PropertyEditorCommands.ShowDialogEditor""
CommandParameter=""{Binding}"">
Click here
</Hyperlink>
</TextBlock>


</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
";


ParserContext context = new ParserContext();
context.XmlnsDictionary.Add("", "[URL="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation%22"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"[/URL]);
context.XmlnsDictionary.Add("x", "[URL="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml%22"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"[/URL]);
context.XmlnsDictionary.Add("pg", "[URL="http://schemas.denisvuyka.wordpress.com/wpfpropertygrid%22"]http://schemas.denisvuyka.wordpress.com/wpfpropertygrid"[/URL]);
DataTemplate template = (DataTemplate)XamlReader.Parse(xamlTemplate, context);
return template;
}

public override void ClearValue(PropertyItemValue propertyValue, IInputElement commandSource)
{
if (propertyValue == null || propertyValue.IsReadOnly)
{
return;
}
propertyValue.StringValue = string.Empty;
}

public override void ShowDialog(PropertyItemValue propertyValue, IInputElement commandSource)
{
PropertyGrid propGrid = commandSource as PropertyGrid;
if (propGrid == null) return;

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("[URL="http://google.com%22/"]http://google.com"[/URL]);

propertyValue.StringValue = "success"; // change this string and compile, the ui does not see this change
propGrid.DoReload();
propGrid.RaiseEvent(new PropertyValueChangedEventArgs(PropertyGrid.Propert yValueChangedEvent, propertyValue.ParentProperty, ""));
}
}
}​

You can then use the following code from a script to have a hyper link in its properties

[Display(Name = "TestProperty", GroupName = "Test")]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AddOns.Hyp erLinkAddon")]
public string TestProperty { get; set; }​

Thanks Jesse. However Above Addon Code is giving compilation error. It will be a huge favor if you could create a working example for this.

This is what I use for all of my indicators providing a link to my website.

[XmlIgnore]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.UrlEditor")]
[Display(Name = "Some property", GroupName = "Some group...", Order = 1)]
public Uri InfoLink
{
get { return infoLink; }
set { }
}
private readonly Uri infoLink = new Uri(@"https://ninjatrader.com");
