Issue - Ommitted code breaking changes

[Shansen]

NT Team,

Please find attached a NT7 indicator published by forum member adamus. I find the indicator invaluable. However, I am unable to convert the indicator into NT8, the issues are not addressed in your listing of code breaking changes.

The issues appear to involve:

• private ToolStrip toolStrip = null;
• private ToolStripButton toolStripButton = null;
• private ToolStripSeparator toolStripSeparator = null;
• private Font textFont = new Font("Verdana", 6F);
• private StringFormat format;
• Control[] control = ChartControl.Controls.Find("tsrTool", false);

Please advise the required syntax changes and include the changes in your listing of code breaking changes. Alternative, please convert the attached NT7 indicator into NT8.

Thanks and regards
Shannon

Yeah that is the major change between NT7 and NT8 from using windows forms to WPF

and that is a lot more in changes than just making a few suggestions.

just a heads up

That looks like unsupported nt7 code.

I think someone posted here in the beginning a sample on how to do a tool strip in NT8.

You might want to take a look at this thread for a sample on accessing the toolstrip and adding a button..

NT Forum,

Is it possible to convert the indicator from NT7 to NT8 by removing the references to the toolStrip? I believe removing the button would result in a loss ability to toggle the indicator on / off. I believe the core functionality of numbering the bars would remain.

Happy to have my understanding confirmed or corrected.

Thanks
Shannon

Try it and find out.

*I seriously doubt it

Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to convert the indicator.
For the moment, this is above my skill level.

Took about 60 seconds to remove all the toolbar references.. This is still NT7 code, but from here, outside of the plot override, your conversion process is about as basic as it gets..

Hello Shannon,

As we move towards converting over forum indicators and when NinjaTRader 8 is fully released, these items will likely become easier to convert with much more information available or our team may convert the file as well in the future.

Thank you to all that have assisted on this thread.
