Default Data Box "always on top" only in NT

Hello. It would be great if "always on top" for Data Box feature will work only in NT. And if I change window to other application, Data Box will disappear. It really interfere.

wait.

you mean the data box always appear and stays on top even when you switch to other programs?

if thats the case, can I also suggest a more low profile version of the data box? where the data box appears as a bar at the bottom of each chart ?

Thanks novaris, added your though in as well - you can always click the middle mouse button for the mini data box to come up when needed. Or uncheck the 'Always on top' feature of the full databox...

Thanks for that. Any idea when that will come through?

I feel the settings for data box is quite silly because if I want to see the OHLC data for a series of candles, I have to enable "always on top" or hold down the middle mouse button. But if I enable this function then the data box appears even when I am not looking at the charts.

Hello Bertran, Is there a way to set the indicator plot or draw line to be set "Always on top" into the code of indicator?

Unfortunately there would be no supported model here, but you can can look into playing with the ZOrder property in the script Initialize() - this would apply to all plots though (you can look in our VolumeZones for an example).
