Indicator Settings

[toptrader]

I'm having trouble with NT remembering the settings of my indicator in my workspace. I save my workspace and restart NT, but the colors are defaulting to Transparent, when the code has them defaulted to Black and Cyan. Why would these change on restart?

toptrader,

Please ensure you have serialized your colors. See this tip: http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4977

Josh,
That seemed to help a little as it remembers one of the 2 settings now. Any idea why it wouldn't remember both?

Not sure what you mean. You need to serialize all colors individually.

The indicator is working perfectly. The problem is in saving the color settings. I insert the indicator on a chart, adjust the color settings, and save the workspace. However when I open the workspace again, the colors on the chart default to Empty, so I have to change them on every chart every day.

variables:

private Color outlinecolor = Color.Black;
private Color shadecolor = Color.Cyan;

OnBarUpdate:

DrawRegion(CurrentBar.ToString()+"1",1,0,hh,ll,outlinecolor,shadecolor,1);

Properties:

        [Description("")]
        [Category("Parameters")]
        public Color OutlineColor
        {
            get { return outlinecolor; }
            set { outlinecolor = value; }
        }
		
	[XmlIgnore()]
	[Description("")]
        [Category("Parameters")]
        public Color ShadeColor
        {
            get { return shadecolor; }
            set { shadecolor = value; }
        }

toptrader, didn't see where you applied Josh's tips as far as serializing goes to those you've shown, this needs to be done for color input you want to use, this is not a global setting for the indicator.

Bertrand,
You were correct, I missed a piece of the code posted by Josh. The colors are working now, however I've added 2 boolean variables which are now doing the same thing. I save the workspace, exit NinjaTrader, and reopen the NT with my workspace, but it comes back to the default settings. Do I have to do something for the boolean variables as well?

Bools normally don't need serialization toptrader - please post the code you have for them.
