Making Font Dynamic

[velocity]

I am trying to allow the user to input a number that will change the font on a title that is placed on a chart. I have the following:

#region Variables
public int titleSize = 10;

private Font titleFont = new Font("Arial", titleSize, FontStyle.Italic | FontStyle.Bold);

When I do this, I get an error that reads:

A field initializer cannot reference the non-static field, method, or property 'NinjaTrader.Indicator.myindicator.titleSize'

Does the "private Font" allow for dynamic input from the parameters?

Thanks

You could use a font parameter. Check out http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...serialize+font

I figured that out using your link.

Adding Colors for Fonts is cool too...

could be useful if you are into coloring your fonts...

variables:

private Color upColor = Color.Lime;

properties:

		[XmlIgnore()]
		[Description("In Profit Color")]
		[Category("Display Text")]
		public Color UpColor
		{
			get { return upColor; }
			set { upColor = value; }
		}
		
		[Browsable(false)]
		public string UpColorSerialize
		{
			get { return NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.ToString(upColor); }
			set { upColor = NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.FromString(value); }
		}
