MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hi,

I know that we can use System.Windows.Forms functions in order to display custom alerts and other dialog windows. I wonder whether it is possible to add a clickable button to the status line of a chart and to have one of my own functions called when the button is clicked.

Any hints on how to implement this would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

HPF

Hello HPF,

Yes that is possible to implement that.
Check out Chart ToolBar section of our Programming Guide to learn how to do that. A pre-built indicator _Chart_ToolBar_Example_ and a signal _ChartToolBar_Trading_ may be used as examples.

Thank you! Can I ask a (stupid) follow up question?

How do I control whether some given chart window shows a tool bar at all?

HPF, you can place it under condition and show it for a certain name or resolution only like that. Here is a complete list: Properties of the Data Series, which a study is applied to

Thanks.

I also figured out that you can hide and show the tool bar of the current chart window by HPF
