Did ChartTrader automation ID change?

[GaryAlbers]

In beta 2, this line of code was working:

chartTrader = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).
     FindFirst(GELConstants.CHART_TRADER_AUTO_ID) as ChartTrader;

In beta 3 it is not.

What changed regarding ChartTrader access?

Looks like they changed the automation id from ChartWindowChartTrader to ChartWindowChartTraderControl...

Thanks Edge.

Do you mind sharing how you discovered that?
I am not familiar enough with WPF/etc to know that trick.

Thanks,
Gary

Thanks, edge.

Automation IDs are not documented and subject to change between releases without notification. Programs like Inspect, snoop, etc can be used to easily find these IDs if needed - or we'll be happy to look up on the current releases should you have trouble locating one.

Can you please look up the automation ID for the the Account Selector ComboBox in Chart Trader. I was following your example posted below using the mainGrid, using the old NT7 name "cboAccount", going to each grid children element. No such luck finding it.

Looks like the AutomationId is "ChartTraderControlAccountSelector" ..

thanks Edge, I got that far from the example with
chartTrader = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirs("Ch artWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader;
mainGrid = chartTrader.FindName("grdMain")as Grid;

I am trying to write a simple toggle function for an indicator to switch from Sim101 to live. Can't seem to find the automation ID for the ChartTrader Account ComboBox. Is this accessible through code like it was on NT7?

Currently, the automation ID for the Chart Trader Account combo box is "ChartTraderControlAccountSelector." Let me know if there are any other specific ID's that you need and I can look them up. There are a few applications available online that you can use to view the properties of WPF UI's, including automation ID's.
