How to add rows (instruments) to Market Analyzer Windows programatically?

[carnitron]

Ok, thanks for clarifying. This would be really useful for AddOn strategies that trade a large and dynamic number of tickers. Adding rows by hand here is not really practical or even possible.

Has there been any movement on this feature request? I note it was logged in 2016.

Hello jmneto,

I had written a ChartButtonChangeInstrumentTimerRaiseEvent sample which added a chart button to the chart and when pressed would switch the chart symbol, but because the button was added within the ChartControl, it was easy to focus on the chart portion.

I do not have any documented samples which demonstrate how you could do this on the market analyzer however have submitted the feature request for this.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I was able to progress a bit by sending Keystrokes to Market Analyzer. But it only works if I have the Focus on Market Analyzer. You guys have helped me before with similar technique for sending keystrokes for a chart.

I got the code below working but only if Market Analyzer has focus. How can I set the focus to Market Analyzer?


// send a key event to trigger the instrument overlay selector to appear
Keyboard.FocusedElement.RaiseEvent(new TextCompositionEventArgs(InputManager.Current.Prim aryKeyboardDevice, new TextComposition(InputManager.Current, Keyboard.FocusedElement, "open sesame")) { RoutedEvent = TextCompositionManager.PreviewTextInputEvent });

// send the actual string you want in the instrument overlay selector
Keyboard.FocusedElement.RaiseEvent(new TextCompositionEventArgs(InputManager.Current.Prim aryKeyboardDevice, new TextComposition(InputManager.Current, Keyboard.FocusedElement, "AAPL")) { RoutedEvent = TextCompositionManager.TextInputEvent });

//send the enter key
Keyboard.FocusedElement.RaiseEvent(new KeyEventArgs(Keyboard.PrimaryDevice, Keyboard.PrimaryDevice.ActiveSource, 0, Key.Enter) { RoutedEvent = Keyboard.PreviewKeyDownEvent });



I need something equivalent to this code below that sets the focus to a chart:

// explicity give the chart focus
ChartControl.OwnerChart.Focus();


I need something similar that would set the focus to the Market Analyzer

Hi,

How can I programmatically add rows(instruments) to a Market Analyzer window?

My objective is from an indicator or strategy to add Instruments to the Market Analyzer Window.

Thank you!
