Custom Resources Dictionary

[aligator]

Dear Support,

Is there a list of NT8 custom resources available that we can use? They come real handy in short cutting coding and script writing. An example is:

Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptDrawingToolExtendedLine , or

NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptIndicatorLo wer, etc.

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for your post.

There would not be a list of the custom resources available for use. I will forward this request to our Product Management team.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you PatrickH,

Could you at least tell me if the following custom resource definition for "RemoveAllDrawingObjects" is correct? If not, what is the correct custom resource definition?

  NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptDrawingToolRemoveAllDrawingObjects

Many thanks.

Hello aligator,

Thank you for your response.

What are you attempting to do with the resource?
Would RemoveDrawObjects() not suffice for your purposes?
Do you wish to remove objects not draw by the NinjaScript object?

I look forward to your response.

Thank you Patrick,

I am coding a few main toolbar buttons for 1-click action. For example, the following icon from drawing tools is used for draw text:

			if (!isToolBarButtonAdded && showText)
				{
				btnText = new System.Windows.Controls.Button { Content = NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.Icons.DrawText, };

I am trying to add a button to remove all user drawn objects with the following code change, replace "Text" with the "RemoveAllDrawObjects." However, it will not work and I looking for the correct library definition for "RemoveAllDrawObjects" Icon.

Thanks.

Hello aligator,

Regarding the resource name, as this is used internally and not documented we have put in a request for further documentation on internal resources that are used. SFT-2035

For the Text or tooltip, you could type in "Remove all Drawing Objects" for the time being.

ToolTip = "Remove all Drawing Objects"

For the icon, because NinjaTrader uses styles to delegate icons you can use the following syntax for a buttons Content to achieve an Icon:

Content = Icons.DrawRemoveDraw

You should be able to type Icons. to access the drop down intelleprompt listing all useable icons.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you so much Jesse,

The above Icon code to Remove Draw worked wonderful. It would be nice when more custom resources are documented.

Meanwhile, I would appreciate if you can also provide the correct Icon definition for the 3 icons:

Stay in Draw Mode ------- (i.e., Content = Icon.StayInDrawMode)

Bar Width + ------- (i.e., Content = Icon.BarWidthPlus)

Bar Width - ------- (i.e., Content = Icon.BarWidthMinus)

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for the reply.

You will be able to use the NinjaScript editor and our previous example to locate these items if they are available.

You would need to type into the NinajScript editor:

NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.Icons

after typing this press Period and a menu will open. In the menu are all possible options for icons that can be used out of this class. I am unsure of other areas in the platform that icons may be stored, this is the only one I am aware of.

I do not see an icon for stay in draw mode specifically but do see the plus and minus for bar width.

I have composed a short demonstration on how to utilize the Intelleprompt to locate items in NinjaScript below:

Thanks a bunch again Jesse,

The Intellepropmt is a least know tool source to non-programmers, I can find answers to most of my questions there.

Teach a man how to fish ... Thanks.

Cheers!
