Green OC at the top right of the chart

[ruppschtaler]

Hi there,

I need to show a green OC at the top right of the chart in my Add-On, indicating OCO is enabled - similar to NinjaTrader Chart.

Did I overlook a property of NTWindow to show or hide this control?
If not: I assume you have simply added a green TextBlock to NTWindow.MainMenu.
Here's the question how do you managed to allign it to the right side?

Thanks in advance!

Hello ruppschtaler,

Thanks for opening the thread.

I do not see a straight forward way of doing this, but I am investigating further to see how this can be accomplished.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

Thanks for your patience ruppschtaler,

After numerous tests involving DockPanel's, setting alignment, adding a grid with a column with a width of Star, and binding the width of the DockPanel to the window, I have not been successful in finding a way to align object to the right along an the main toolbar.

Although I could not set a control to be right aligned in the toolbar, it is possible to add a DockPanel with a specific width and then to have items within the DockPanel align to the right of the panel.

MyControl.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;

DockPanel dockPanel = new DockPanel();
dockPanel.Width = 500;
dockPanel.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Stretch;

dockPanel.Children.Add(MyControl);
DockPanel.SetDock(MyControl, Dock.Right);

MainMenu.Add(dockPanel);

Since the toolbar is governed by internal styles, I cannot provide a straight forward way to achieve the effect.

If there is anything else I can do to assist, please let me know.

Hi Jim,

Thank you so much for your help!
I've added to your code a dynamic resize of DockPanel's Width in the NTWindow.SizeChanged event handler - works acceptable.
Can you please open a feature request to expose the OC TextBlock visibility of NTWindow class?

Kind regards

Hello Jim,

Could you please add a second green TextBlock 'SO' for simulated orders to the feature request SFT-3138?

Thank you very much.

No problem. I've updated this feature request.

What does Green OC at top right of chart mean?

What does Green OC at top right of chart mean? Also, could you please let me know why some of my charts have it, and why some do not? Thanks.

Hello oldporkchops,

It represents OCO being enabled. Chart Trader must be enabled to allow order entry and turning OCO on/off for that chart.

Further reading on OCO on charts is publicly available here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...OtherocoOrders

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
