Improvements in superdom

[Frasson]

Hi Ninjas.

I want to implement improvements in superdom.
These are my doubts:
1 - Is it possible to add buttons inside the superdom window? (These buttons are not to send order, are to change the time frame and colors, etc.)
2 - Is it possible to add drawings (objects) on top of the superdom or in the superdom window? These drawings would change position and colors according to logic to visually alert the user.
3 - Can I turn the rows of a column into buttons?

Thanks a lot for any help

Hello Frasson,

Thank you for your post.

The functionality you wish to implement would likely be better suited as it's own Add On window.

1. This would require finding the parent ID and then the grid of to add the buttons. You can use Inspect.exe from within Microsoft Windows. And the window class is NinjaTrader.Gui.SuperDom.SuperDom, I would recommend seeing what you can do from here.
2. For rendering in the SuperDOM columns you can look at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...n_onrender.htm
   However, this would not be detailed towards drawing on the window.
3. I would just create a new Add On here. While it is possible it would likely involve far more code and time than just creating your own Add On for these functions.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

SuperDom Buttons

Hi Patrick - I need help

About what you told me in item 1:

1 - This would require finding the parent ID and then the grid of to add the buttons. You can use Inspect.exe from within Microsoft Windows. And the window class is NinjaTrader.Gui.SuperDom.SuperDom, I would recommend seeing what you can do from here.

Well ... I used Inspect.exe I identified this on SuperDom NT8:

AutomationId: "SuperDOMControl"
ClassName: "SuperDomControl"

And wrote the code as follows:

System.Windows.Controls.Grid superdomGrid = (Window.GetWindow(NinjaTrader.Gui.SuperDom.SuperDo m).FindFirst("SuperDOMControl") as SuperDomControl).Content as System.Windows.Controls.Grid;

I wrote as I saw this .cs posted => http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=79601

But it did not work, I can not access PARENT as in the ChartTrader example

chartTraderGrid = (Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent).FindFirst(" ChartWindowChartTraderControl") as ChartTrader).Content as System.Windows.Controls.Grid;

I would like to know if you know what's wrong?

My need is to put some buttons on the superdom, but not necessarily inside the window. In fact I would be happy if I could put the buttons in the title bar as shown in the attached image.

So I'm looking forward to your guidance.

In additional ....
Researching more about the subject I found this post that would also be perfect for me (insert in superdom). http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...754#post474754

In the example of the link the code uses this line to access the menu (title bar):

			chartWindow = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;

			chartWindow.MainTabControl.SelectionChanged += MySelectionChangedHandler;

			foreach (DependencyObject item in chartWindow.MainMenu)
				if (AutomationProperties.GetAutomationId(item) == "topMenuItem1")

I tried this line but it did not work
SuperDom superdomWindow = Window.GetWindow(SuperDomControl.Parent) as SuperDom;

Whats is wrong?

Thanks

Hello Frasson,

Thank you for your response.

As mentioned, this is better suited as it's own Add On window rather than to try to alter the SuperDOM window itself.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Patrick

I understand that you recommended build a addon, but I need to use the superdom window as changes to the chart window, very simple.
I just need to know what object to access, because for the chart if you use this:

"chartWindow = Window.GetWindow (ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;"

And I just want to know how do this:

"superdomWindow = Window.GetWindow (?????) as SuperDom;"

Let me know If you do not know or the superdom window is blocked.

Thanks

Hello Frasson,

Thank you for your response.

SuperDom is the parent, there is nothing outside of it. For the charts it is different due to working inside a specific area or child of the Chart.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Patrick, thanks for response.

Weel... I was able to implement the button on the superdom through an ADDON. The name of my ADDON is "SuperDomBotoes".

Now I want to know how I call ADDON ("SuperDomBotoes") inside the SuperDomColumns code. Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hello Frasson,

I am going to look into this and get back to you.

Thank you for your patience.

[Frasson]

Hello Alan, thanks for the reply.
Another way I can do it is to call the superdom inside ADDON, I already did it. But I'm not able to add the custom column (any also) via code.
If you know how, this way I could also solve my problem.
The code I use to call susperdom inside ADDON is:

Core.Globals.RandomDispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => new SuperDom().Show()));

thanks
