AddOnPage TopMost

[jmneto]

Hi,

How can I make a window, completely based on your AddOn sample, to become TopMost? (Just like This.Topmost = true works for a regular WPF form)

Thx

Hello jmneto,

Thanks for your post.

We had a bit of volume this morning, but your message has been received and I'll reply after I have been able to able to fully review.

Ok, I am not having an issue setting Topmost from the constructor of the AddOnFrameworkWindow (inherited from NTWindow.)

For example:

    public class AddOnFrameworkWindow : NTWindow, IWorkspacePersistence
    {
        public AddOnFrameworkWindow()
        {
            Topmost = true;
            // set Caption property (not Title), since Title is managed internally to properly combine selected Tab Header and Caption for display in the windows taskbar
            // This is the name displayed in the top-left of the window
            Caption = "AddOn Framework";

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Hi Jim,

I am trying to have a checkbox inside the NTTab that sets/unsets topmost. So the issue is how to set this dynamically from the AddOn Page:
tc.AddNTTabPage(new NinjaTraderAddOnProject.AddOnPage());
I cannot set Topmost = true from the AddOnPage class since it does not derive from NTWindow.

Hello jmneto,

I've attached an example a colleague has put together that adds a context menu for setting Topmost. This adds a control to the NTWindow.

For your purposes, you could try creating a private Window variable "myWindow" within the scope of the AddOn page and then within a control, get the window with myWindow = Window.GetWindow(this); and then set Topmost with myWindow.TopMost.

I added the GetWindow code within the button press for "Account Executions" in the AddOn Framework example and was able to set Topmost without issue.

            // When user presses the Account Executions button
            if (button != null && ReferenceEquals(button, acctExecButton))
            {
                myWindow = Window.GetWindow(this);
                myWindow.Topmost = true;

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Thank you Jim, Window.GetWindow(this).Topmost solved the issue.
