Problem with Color Parameter

[rscowboy1]

I have an indicator that draws a couple lines and a rectangle. I'd like the user to be able to change the color of the lines and the fill color of the rectangle. In the parameters section I have this:

[Description("Line Color")]
[Category("Parameters")]
public Color D3_LineColor
{
get {return linecolor; }
set { linecolor = value;}
}

This works OK if I add the indicator to a chart. It defaults to the color that I set in the code. The problem happens when I save the chart as a template and then open a new chart using that template. All of the lines get set to a custom color (white) instead of the web color that I set in the code. If I remove and re-add the indicator, it works fine. Please help. Thanks.

You need to serialize the color. Try this:

[Browsable(false)]
public string MyColorSerialize
{
get { return NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.ToString( MyColor); }
set { MyColor = NinjaTrader.Gui.Design.SerializableColor.FromStrin g(value); }
}

[XmlIgnore()]
[Description("Color of the blah blah Line.")]
[Category("Parameters")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayNameAttribute("D3 Line Color")]
public Color myColor
{
get { return MyColor; }
set { MyColor = value; }
}
