Thank you for your prompt response. To clarify: - I am referring to a floating Control Bar used in conjunction with a detached chart. The custom study runs on the detached chart, and the Control Bar buttons are intended to interact with this study. - The term "linked chart" was misleading. What I meant is that the Control Bar buttons are associated with functionality defined in the custom study applied to the detached chart. These buttons are expected to trigger actions within the study, regardless of whether the chart is currently active (focused). - The Advanced Custom Study buttons are programmed within the custom study to perform specific actions tied to the chart. While there is no inherent technical linkage, the buttons' functionality depends on the study running on the detached chart. - The issue occurs when the detached chart is not active. In this case, clicking a Control Bar button does not generate an sc.MenuEventID event, requiring the user to manually activate the chart first. This disrupts workflows that rely on detached charts across multiple monitors. I am trying to determine if it is possible to configure Control Bar buttons to trigger their associated events globally, regardless of whether the chart is active. Alternatively, if this is not feasible within Sierra Chart’s design, I would appreciate guidance or suggestions for achieving similar functionality - if there are any known paths. Thank you for your assistance. |
