Input color line

[sasil]

Hi guys,

I am trying to define the color of the line of my indicator as a variable of input of my Indicator, but I am not being able to do it.

I am doing the following:

#region Variables

private Color color1 = Color.DarkRed
...
#endregion

protected override void Initialize()
{

Add(new Plot(new Pen(Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.Color1),2), PlotStyle.Line, "Linha1"));
.....

}


#region Properties
...

// -------------------------------------------------------------
[Description("")][GridCategory("Parameters")][Gui.Design.DisplayName("\t\t\t01 Cor")] public Color Cor1{get{return cor1;}set{cor1=value;}}

....

#endregion


What am I doing wrong?


Thank You

[QUOTE=sasil;516901]Hi guys,



Correcting this line
from :
[Description("")][GridCategory("Parameters")][Gui.Design.DisplayName("\t\t\t01 Cor")] public Color Cor1{get{return cor1;}set{cor1=value;}}


To:

#region Properties
...

// ------------------------------------------------------------
[Description("")][GridCategory("Parameters")][Gui.Design.DisplayName("\t\t\t01 Color")] public Color Color1{get{return color1;}set{color1=value;}}

....

#endregion

Hello sasil,

Thanks for opening the thread.

There is a sample on our forums that demonstrates how you can add colors as an input parameter. You will have to serialize the Color so it can be used as a parameter properly. Additionally, I would suggest to separate your code to new lines to aid in readability.

A guide for creating Color Inputs can be found here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=4977

If you have any questions on the walkthrough, please feel to write back.
