Data Box question

[ETFVoyageur]

In the Help, it says

Please note plots set to transparent, and Indicators or Data Series with the "Display in Data Box" parameter set to false will NOT be displayed in the Data Box.

How do I set Display in Data Box false?

I'd like to do that in OnStartUp(), because the setting depends on how the user set a configuration parameter.

Thanks,
EV

You can set DisplayInDataBox = false.

Thanks for the pointer.

The reference you pointed to fails to show how to set it for one plot but not another. It also gives an example doing it in Initialize() but makes no comment about whether or not that is the only place you can do it. Furthermore, what you have pointed me to is a property of IndicatorBase. The Help page specifically says

Indicators or Data Series with the "Display in Data Box" parameter set to false ...

That sounds to me as if Help is talking about an attribute of an indicator or a data series. That is important, because that would be per-plot, which is what I need. The one you pointed to sounds like it is an all-or-nothing setting.

I need to be able to set it for some plots, but not others. I also need to be able to do so from OnStartUp(), because I don't have enough information to know which plots to disable until after I see what the user has configured. How do I do that?

Thanks,
EV

You can set DisplayInDataBox = false.

OK -- I just tried that -- as best I can see, that suppresses the entire indicator from displaying in the Data Box. Not nice -- I want my indicator displayed along with just one of its 5 plots. How do I do that?

ETFVoyageur, I will have someone get back to you on Monday, but I do not believe this is currently possible.

EV, this is unfortunately not possible to do on a per plot basis - one workaround might be to create a custom DataBox just for this indicator then where you show what you like and disable what you don't...see the sharing section for the custom 'status box' as a starting point.
