How to use a bool to switch on/off a line ??

[vanras]

I use the same indicator on two charts, it displays both lines and DrawRegions, the drawing is a resource hog and i want to show those on only one chart. I'd like to have a bool choice in the Parameters Dialog and simply say true/false. Here's what i have so far, but no-workie...

#region Variables
private BoolSeries ShowLine;
#endregion

--------------------------------------------------
protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
ShowLine = new BoolSeries(this);
}

-----------------------------------------
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if(ShowLine == true) {
MyLine.Set(myValue); }
}
------------------------------------------
#region Properties
[Description("Turn ON or OFF Graphics")]
[Category("Parameters")]
[Browsable(true)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public BoolSeries ShowLine
{
get { return showLine; }
set { showLine = value; }
}
----------------------------------------

Hello,

See below. Note caps are important here...

Put this in variables:
bool showit = false;
Put this around your calculations and draw portion in your OnBarUpdate() block:
if(showit)
{
//calc's and draw here
}
Put this in your Properties:
[Description("Turns off draw")]
[Category("Parameters")]
publicbool Showit
{
get { return showit; }
set { showit = value; }
}

Thanks Ben !! (and i am sure grateful for the support forum)
It works perfectly --- and you are SO RIGHT about caps being important, once coded exactly with the correct case-sensitive code, it works great.
Wishing you all the best...

I think the main thing he was trying to show you was to use a bool instead of a bool series.
