Minimizing & Restoring charts

[bmaltz]

If I click on the Task Bar icon for each of my 10 charts to bring them forward and make them visible, once I click these icons again to minimize the charts Ican not get the charts to reappear without right clicking the icon and selecting "Restore". In previous betas, I could click the Task Bar icons forever and the charts would minimize and then restore each time, with no problems.

I'm running NT 6 beta 8. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ben

I also am experiencing the same problem and also using Beta 8.

Thanks

Please try this:
- uninstall NT6 via control panel
- install custom build from here: www.ninjatrader-support.com/ninjatrader/nt6.custom/NinjaTrader.Install.msi

Does it make any difference?

Also: Which windows version is this? Latest service pack?

I'm using XP Pro with the latest service pack. I will attempt your suggestion and let you know the results today. Thank you..

If you are referring to the message with the custom install, I did get it. Although I have not installed it yet. i still need to know which file to back up from my current beta 7 installation so that i don;t loose my custom indicators and chart settings.

Also, I am using Windows XP Pro - SP2

thanks,
Ben

Ben: As per my PM this morning you will not loose any custom files when you upgrade from B7 to B8.

[bmaltz]

oops, I did not check far enough into my inbox.I just found your other private message about installing the custom version. I'll do that tonight and send you a message once I've checked it out.

Thanks,
Ben

Dierk,

I tried your suggestion and it did not make any difference for me.

We'll look into that and let you know.

I can not reproduce on any of our machines here.

Let’s start simple. Please
- close all charts, SuperDOM etc. and only leave ControlCenter open
- disconnect from any feed
- now open one chart and minimize it
- when you now click on it in the toolbar: will it restore proeprly

I tried your suggestion. I minimized the chart and then clicked on the chart in the taskbar and it restored properly the first time. I tried again using the same chart and could not. I could however keep minimizing the chart using the minimize button in the chart and then click on the chart in the taskbar and it will restore as often as I want. The problem is I should also be able to click on the chart from the taskbar as well without having to restore it all the time.

Ok thanks.

Next step. Please try:
- close all charts,SuprDOm etc. and only leave ControlCenter open
- connect to sim feed
- open chart on an instrument supported by sim feed (e.g. ES)
- minimize chart
- "restore" by clicking on task bar
Does it restore and update?

[rally7]

Still experience the same problem.

[NinjaTrader_Dierk]

Please disregard. I now can reproduce and am working on it. I'll keep you posted.

Thank you very much..

Hi Dierk,
OK, at least I know my PC is not REALLY out to get me.

Thanks for looking into this issue.

We researched this issue. Unfortunately there is some risk, that we break something on some machines as we try to fix this issue. We therefore decided to no address this problem for now, since there is a workaround (Right click -> Restore). Sorry...
