Display a variable in an AddOn Window.

[efeuvejota01]

Based on the examples of AddOnShellNoTab(1) and the PositionOutputExample(2) Indicator, I have been able to join the two scripts in one AddOn (AddonShellNoTabsVb) where I have in one hand the Positions of a trade and the window to be displayed.
Let me show you:
In the next screenshot you may see that I can see the actual number of contracts open manually.

Right now, I only can show this number by clicking the example button.

The problem I’m facing is: I would like that the number of contracts in the play, to be shown automatically in the 'AddonShellNoTabsVb' window, as they are upgraded in the trade, and don’t know how to do it.

Thank you very Much!!

PS1:
Let me give you some spots of interest within the script I'm attaching.




PS2:
Here are the links to the source scripts provided by NTscripting team:
(1) AddonShellNoTabs_NT8.zip
(2) PositionOutputExample.zip



PS3:
Here are the modified code so far. It has two.zip files because Was not able to join the XMAL file in the NT8 Export process
AddonShellNoTabVb.zip
AddonShellNoTabsVbXAMLfile.zip

Hello, thanks for posting.

I can not download the example scripts you uploaded, there seems to be an uploading error. You can add in the xaml file by unzipping the export zip and adding the xaml file into the Addons folder then re-zipping the entire package. The PositionUpdate event is where you would update your view. This event triggers every time the position changes and you can read the quality:

The problem is that I tried too many ways that do not work, that I got without any idea how to solve it.

Here is the code as my best achievement.

Hi efeuvejota01, thanks for your reply.

I will not be able to review the code and modify this. Please use the PositionUpdate method from the Addon page I sent to update the value from your addon. I also attached a more advanced concept called the MVVM method for data binding and INotifyPropertyChanged event. See attached for the example.
