Is there a method to create this MessageBox by creating or linking the MessageBox to NT 8 or recreate the Window object that is needed?

NTMessageBoxWindow in Addon
I am looking to make a NTMEssageBox in an Addon - however this addon does not have a way to get the ChartControl object that is required for the Window parameter.
Is there a method to create this MessageBox by creating or linking the MessageBox to NT 8 or recreate the Window object that is needed?Tags: None

Hello WHICKED,
Thank you for your post.
There's an example of launching a message box from a button press in an add-on in our help guide for NTMessageboxSimple.Show() in our help guide here:
Does your add-on not include a window? You could loop through the charts and find a ChartControl object that way to show the message box.
Code:foreach (var window in NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.AllWindows) { // check if the found window is a Chart window, if not continue looking if (!(window is NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart)) continue; window.Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(new Action(() => { // try to cast as a Chart, if it fails it will be null var foundChart = window as NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.Chart; // make sure we found a chart if (foundChart == null) return; // get the chart control ChartControl chartControl = foundChart.ActiveChartControl; if (chartControl == null) return; // deal with message box here })); }
