loading browser window in AddOn

[drmartell]

Any chance we could get a sample AddOn along these lines; it probably has broad utility

Would like to be able to load a browser window that includes symbol link.

Something like this for example:
http://m.nasdaq.com/symbol/aapl



This seems to cover a lot of what might be needed:

Hello drmartell,

Thank you for the post.

We have a full addon sample that you could append a WebBrowser control to if you wanted to test this out.

You could likely use the XAML syntax in the tutorial you provided in combination with the existing example to see this.

The standard WebBrowser control would only need the following xaml:

 <WebBrowser ></WebBrowser>

The WebBrowser control in WPF does have problems with Transparent windows which NinjaTrader uses, so this can come up also. You can find explanations of this concept by searching google for "WPF transparent windows and web browser control" To resolve this you may instead need to use a Window instead of an NTWindow so Or specify that the window does not have transparency.

You can find our addon example and addon visual studio project here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/addon_development_overview.htm

As there is no use for a web browser in NinjaTrader currently you would likely need to explore using the control in the platform and curb any issues you locate along the way with debugging.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello, The link to the example of a browser window addon is missing. Do you have an updated link or example?

Hello iamjaime89,

There was no link to a sample with a browser window, the link is to an addon sample which has a NinjaTrader styled WPF window. As mentioned in the post above the WPF web browser control has problems with transparency being used in windows which NinjaTrader uses so you would have to explore using that control on your own and fix any issues that may arise while using it.
