user defined input parameters in an AddOn

[michaeldim]

Hi,

Is it possible to have user defined input paremeters within an AddOn?

Using the sample AddOn code I have tried to add a parameter to:

protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
              Description = "Example AddOn demonstrating some of the framework's capabilities";
	      Name        = "AddOn Framework";
	      Round					= false;
            }
        }

and to properties:

#region Properties
        [NinjaScriptProperty]
        [Display(Name = "Round", Description = "Round", Order = 1, GroupName = "Parameters")]
        public bool Round
        { get; set; }
#endregion

However I am not able to get the properties/property grid to appear from context menu when right clicking tab/window.

Hello michaeldim,

It is possible to add public properties to an Addon, however, an addon window will have the contents you design. There is not a premade property grid window (such as the Indicators window or Strategies or Properties windows on charts) for addons.

It is possible to add one to your script.

Attached is an example of a property grid from a custom class.

As values are changed these actively change the values of the class.
If you wanted an OK and Cancel button, you'd need to make a copy class and change the values in the copy, and then when clicking ok, set the original values to copy values.

Hello,

This example addon requires a reference to:

*ProgramFiles*\NinjaTrader 8\bin64\System.Windows.Controls.WpfPropertyGrid.dll

I've re-exported with added reference to this in the AdditionalReferences.txt file to allow the reference to be added automatically when importing.
