button on a menu

[soulfx]

Hello i have a menu i have added to the chart window at the top - right of all the ninjatrader menus ie chart trader etc.
Within this i have added a series of NTMenuItem() elements.

I want to also add a button to this menu - which button element do you recommend i add and which callback do i need to use to handle the button events ie click etc?
Is there different styles that can be used or to position the button on the menu ? Or best to use standard styles provided via the TryFindResource function
thanks

Hello soulfx, thanks for your post.

We have pre-made examples of modifying the existing WPF elements in NinjaTrader here, this includes a sample toolbar addition with buttons within:

For styling, the only knowledge of styling that I have is through the default resources that we have defined using TryFindResource. You would need to research more on the topic of programmatic WPF styling through C# for more information.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hello soulfx,

To add to ChrisL, the TryFindResource can be used as follows:

menu.Style = Application.Current.TryFindResource("SystemMenuStyle") as Style;

The available resource strings can be found by going to (by default) "Documents/NinjaTrader8/templates/Skins/Dark/BluePrint.xaml". The resource string is the text in the x:Key field. At any one time, these resources are being used to add color to the NinjaTrader 8 menus. Only one skin is loaded in memory at a time so the x:Key fields are consistent throughout the default skins. The only element that changes from skin to skin is the color.

Hope this helps!
