Preventing changes to "calculate on bar close"

[trader2be]

Is there a way to prevent the user from manually changing the 'calculate on bar close' setting? I would like for mine to always be set to 'true'.

Inserting "CalculateOnBarClose = true;" in the initialize method still enables the user to manually change its value through the parameter list.

Thanks

Hello Trader2be,

Unfortunately it's not possible to prevent user from accessing this in the indicator dialogue.

You may consider reading this property in OnBarUpdate and displaying a message with DrawTextFixed() if the indicator is not designed for COBC = false.

if (!CalculateOnBarClose)
//Draw to chart here.

else
//all your indicator calculations here.

A user can always change the setting but you can force it back by just adding CalculateOnBarClose = true; in OnStartUp() in NT7 or in an initializing code at the beginning of OnBarUpdate() in NT6.5. This will change the setting back to true always.
