something like chart id?

[ttodua]

this topic was not helpful - https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ad.php?t=36165

so, I want to know Is here any way to get and ID (or any temporary identifier) for current open Chart id?

(from two indicators I try to find out if they are both attached to same chart)

I've found that `this.ChartControl.Handle.ToInt32()` returns something ID, is that what i am looking for?

Hello TazoTodua,

You could generate an ID and save this to the ChartControl.Tag and find it this way.

if (ChartControl != null)
{
	ChartControl.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(() =>
	{
		ChartControl.Tag = Guid.NewGuid();
		Print(ChartControl.Tag);
	});
}

I dont want to modify any property of chartcontrol (I'm trying to avoid extra hard-coding and invoking). I just want to detect any identifier using existing properties ...
Can you please tell me if my previous reply was correct method too? (i mean using: ChartControl.Handle.ToInt32() )

thanks as always!

Hello TazoTodua,

I'm not aware of the ChartControl having a handle property.

Are you able to use this on your end?
Is the generated integer unique?

I'm not aware of any documented or undocumented properties (or methods) that uniquely identify each chart control.

I am happy to submit a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaTrader Development to consider adding an unique ID property of ChartControl in a future version of NinjaTrader if you would like.

You can always query the chart itself to know all the indicators that are loaded on the chart. Of course, in NT7, that means that you probably need to code it into the indicator in the first place.

I found an old post that I made many years ago on how to do that which I explained in an earlier reply, on how we can get the Indicators that are loaded on a chart..
