constructos

[nicbizz]

Hi,

I've created a custom indicator that allows quite a fair bit of user-input parameters. The thing is, most of it is visual related stuff like Start Time / End Time to draw Vertical Line, Text Color, etc.

Is there a way I can prevent the NT compiler from including those parameters in the indicator's constructor?

Example, constructor looks like this:

public myIndicator myIndicator(double decimalPoint, int fontOffset, string fontName, int fontSize, FontStyle fontType, int numberOfBars, int opacity, int startTime, int endTime)
        {
            return myIndicator(Input, decimalPoint, fontOffset, fontName, fontSize, fontType, numberOfBars, opacity, startTime, endTime);
        }

I would just like this:

public myIndicator myIndicator(double decimalPoint, int numberOfBars)
        {
            return myIndicator(Input, decimalPoint, numberOfBars);
        }

Thanks!

Nick, the only way you could take those out of the constructor is if you set the variables to some constant value.

Austin, the thing I don't understand is that I have some properties that I added in that are NOT in the constructor.

For example:

private bool drawVLine = true;

#region Properties
        [Category("Visual")]
        [Description("")]
        [Gui.Design.DisplayName("Vertical Line Draw")]
        public bool VerticalLineDraw
        {
            get { return drawVLine; }
            set { drawVLine = value; }
        }

There are other properties as well (int, double, etc.) that don't show up in the constructor. Does it have something to do with the fact that this example is labeled

[Category("Visual")]

while the ones that appear in constructor are labeled

[GridCategory("Visual")]

More importantly, does it matter if the labels are incorrect / different?

Thanks

Nick, I'll have someone get back to you tomorrow with an answer to this.

Hello,

Thanks for your patience.

Please give this a try:

        [XmlIgnore]
        [Category("Visual")] 
        [Description("")]
        [Gui.Design.DisplayName("Vertical Line Draw")]         
        public bool VerticalLineDraw 
        {             
            get { return drawVLine; } 
            set { drawVLine = value; }
        }
