Alert() not working in strategy

[jeliner]

I am attempting to set some alerts in a strategy I am developing and I am having a few issues.

I was originally suspect that the problem was coming from my sound file path.
I have the following code

string _soundRootPath;
string _alarmOpenSession = "zSessionOpen.wav";

_soundRootPath = NinjaTrader.Core.Globals.InstallDir + @"\sounds\" ;

 
string sndFile = _soundRootPath + _alarmOpenSession;

Alert("id", Priority.High, "message", sndFile, 30, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.White);

with the above code I am getting the following value for sndFile
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\NinjaTrader 8\\\\sounds\\zSessionOpen.wav"

With the above code, I do not receive an alert in my alert window, nor do I hear a sound. To see if this is associated with a bad sound path, I replaced the Alert() statement above with the following ...

Alert("id", Priority.High, "message", "Alert1.wav", 30, Brushes.Blue, Brushes.White);

With either statement the Alert window has no alert and the sound doesn't play.

This is being implemented in a strategy

Hello jeliner,

Thank you for your post.

If you add a Print() line in the same condition when it returns true do you see the print in the Output window?

I look forward to your response.
