Change tab color

[kiss987]

Hello

Is there a way to change the color of my chart's tab either by GUI or code?

Thanks

Hello kiss987,

If this is possible, this would be outside of what is supported by NinjaTrader Support.

But I can provide a tip on how to find and cast the currently selected tab,

foreach (TabItem tab in chartWindow. MainTabControl .Items )
if ((tab . Content as ChartTab ).ChartControl == ChartControl && tab == chartWindow . MainTabControl. SelectedItem )

I use this when I'm trying to make sure a control only appears for the currently selected tab. Below is a link to some examples.

But once you have the tab object you are looking for, you can check to see if the Brush or Stroke or anything along those lines can be changed.
Looks like you will need to apply a custom style.
Below is a public link to a 3rd party website I found through a google search.

May I ask for a feature request? Thanks

Hello kiss987,

I will submit a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaTrader Development to consider documenting a supported way to change tab colors.

Once I have a tracking ID for this request I will forward this to you for future reference.

Hello,

Was it possible to implement the change of tabs in charts individually?

Hello anmir55,

Please add my vote to this request.

I track multiple instruments in the same window with multiple tabs. Separating each instrument by color would be a very quick way to get a better overview.

Thanks.

Any news on this?

Would be a great feature.

I have a lot of tabs on my charts and colors would be a great way to separate instruments for quick navigation.

Thanks.
