Audio Alert

[WHICKED]

Hello,

I have been trying to get an audio dropdown box made on an indicator in NT7. However, I get errors that I don't have a reference to a valid DLL or import.

Here is the code:

[Display(Name="Alert sound file", Order=2, GroupName="Parameters")]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.FilePathPick er", Filter="Wav Files (*.wav)|*.wav")]
public string SoundFile
{ get; set; }

But I get the following error:

Hello WHICKED,

Thank you for your note.

Without the full code I'm unable to test on my end, if you'd like to upload the file I can take a look however I do have a sample which does what you're looking for that I've attached.

You may also try amending to the top of your code block,

[NinjaScriptProperty]

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

This is in regards to the thread located here:

I am attempting to do the same implementation but I have put the code as shown below/above in the properties section, but it will compile with errors. Etiher I have not imported a reference correctly or the code is incorrect for NT7

Hello WHICKED,

I have attached a indicator which implements that NinjaScript property.

In regards to why your code is not compiling without error, if you'd like you can upload a copy and I could take a look. If you do so please export using the following format,

To export a NinjaScript from NinjaTrader 8 do the following:
From the Control Center window select Tools -> Export -> NinjaScript...
Click Add>Select the indicator>OK>Export.
Then attach that file you saved; under My Docs>NT8>Bin>Custom>Select the downloaded .zip file.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

After looking at the script you attached, it is clear that this is for NT8, however I am not using NT8 I am using NT7.

For some reason the FilePathPicker isnt working correctly, either I am not referencing a assembly correctly or I am missing a reference.

Here is the code, excluding the ninjascript generated code and the logic for the indicator I am using. The only thing I am attempting to do is add a drop down.

Hello WHICKED,

This thread was opened in the NT8 section of the forum, going forward it would be appreciated if you could be more cautious.

I do not have a sample of the sound drop down for NT7 and converting the sample I provided in NT8 to NT7 would be out of the scope of the support desk.

Below I have provided instructions for converting indicators from NT7 to NT8, however you could use these to work backwards.

There is not an official indicator/strategy converter which takes scripts from NT7 and converts them to NT8 however on the forum there is a post which provides script for conversion.

http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/showthread.php?t=79551

I’d like to mention its best to do a manual conversion for accuracy as not all scripts are simple enough to be converted directly.

Also below I’ve provided a link to code breaking changes which you should consider when converting your scripts:

http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/?code_breaking_changes.htm

Converting customer code is out of the scope of NinjaScript support however if you’d like I could have someone from our business development team pass over a list of third party developers that you could contact about debugging your code.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.
