Custom buttons on basic entry window

[farrenzo47]

Hi there,

I am trying to create custom buttons on the basic entry window, as well as the SuperDOM. Is this possible? Along a similar vein, would it be possible to make the buttons already on the window fire off a custom function? For instance, could I make the buy market button print something out before doing its default action?

Thanks!

Hello farrenzo47,

There is an example that demonstrates adding buttons to the SuperDOM.

Below is a public link to the User App Share section of the NinjaTrader Ecosystem.

It may be possible to crawl through the window objects and find those buttons and then add an event handler to the buttons .Click event.
The ChartTraderModifyExistingButtonsExample_NT8 example may at least give you an idea of how the button might be found and how to add an event handler method to the .Click event.
