Check Ninja Version in NinjaScript

[aslane]

I there a way to check the current version of NinjaTrader from within NinjaScript?

I would like to be able to limit a version that an indicator can run on (i.e. only runs on version 7.XX or higher). Looking for a method or set of vars that can be used in Initialize().

It would also be helpful to add this info in log info that gets printed out.

We have this code in our standard indicators:
#if NT7
...
#endif

Effective at compile time, obviously. There is no equivalent for runtime checks.

Just for your information:

if you put some parameter between this preprocessor directive it will not work with NT 6.5

For example:

#if NT7
[Description("")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public int SomeKindNT7RelatedParameter
{
get { return _something; }
set { _something = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
#endif

the NT6.5 wrapper still puts this parameter into it's code and throws errors.

I don't know if need to address this, but just wanted to let you know.

Thanks, will send this up to development to take a look.

Expected, since the wrapper generator does not reflect on pre-processor directives.
