Toggle WPF Form in Indicator

[mk77ch]

Hello Guys and Girls,

i would like to ask if it is possible to show and hide a custom wpf form with a few form controls like radio buttons and a slider? Kind of a popup that should be opened and closed from within the indicator.

Background is that i would like to set/edit some settings for a custom indicator object.

thank you,
mike

Hello mk77ch,

Thanks for opening the thread.

You could show/hide controls with the Visibility property. Setting these properties can be done through another control if you wish. Some controls may need a custom template to modify the mouse over behavior, like highlighting a button that has been set to Visibility.Hidden.

My colleague Chelsea has some examples on the forums for creating WPF controls on a chart and to create a window from an indicator. I'll provide a link below for the thread's reference and attach the NTWindow from an Indicator.

Attached is the example that can demonstrate creating an NTWindow from an indicator. Please the documentation on creating an AddOn Window and the AddOn Framework example from the AddOn Development Overview section of the help guide for more information on making an NTWindow.
