Window/Tab Ids

[aslane]

I am trying to find and use a unique id for each window and tab. I did not see anything in the doc, and only found PersistId, but that is only an int and marked depreciated.

I did find this old thread from the Beta: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ad.php?t=81737 which talks about tracking id NTEIGHT-9319

Can you please point me to an example that shows how to get the unique id for each window and each tab within the window?

Thanks.


Edit: I did find the PersistenceId on the ChartTab, but still looking for similar on Window.

Hello aslane,

Thank you for your note.

This would not be supported however I will submit a feature request on your behalf.

So there is no way to access the persistence id of a window? Isn't it stored as an attribute somewhere?

Hello aslane,

I'm waiting to hear back on this and will follow up when I have more information.

Thank you for your patience.

Hello aslane,

The attached unsupported sample would print to the output window a unique ID for each window.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Perfect, thank you.

Get tab or window id

In an indicator call from State.configure. Will return either the window or tab guid.

public enum IdTw {Tab,Window}

protected string GetChartId(IdTw IdType)
{[INDENT]string Identifier = "";
Chart chartWindow = Window.GetWindow(ChartControl.Parent) as Chart;
chartWindow.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => {[/INDENT][INDENT=2]if (IdType == IdTw.Tab)
{[/INDENT][INDENT=3]TabItem t = chartWindow.MainTabControl.SelectedItem as TabItem;
ChartTab TabMe = t.Content as ChartTab;
Identifier = TabMe.PersistenceId;[/INDENT][INDENT=2]}
if (IdType == IdTw.Window)
{[/INDENT][INDENT=3]IWorkspacePersistence winPer = chartWindow as IWorkspacePersistence;
Identifier = winPer.WorkspaceOptions.PersistenceId;[/INDENT][INDENT=2]}[/INDENT][INDENT]}));

return Identifier;[/INDENT]
 }
