enum question

[blar58]

I have a question concerning enumeration.

I have created enum and initialize them in myIndicator class.

When I tried to change Category to GridCategory in the properties section it seems that they can't find the enum.

If I put the enum outside myIndicator class and in the Ninja indicator workspace it works.

I would prefer to keep enum in myIndicator class because :

what would happen if I export the indicator and the enum in myIndicator comes in conflict with another custom indicator ?



Thanks

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

Unfortunately it would need to be external is the only way I have been able to get them to work.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thank you for your quick response

But
what would happen if I export the indicator and the enum in myIndicator comes in conflict with another custom indicator ?

Hello,

You would have a compile error in this case/ would not be able to import.

So make sure that when you export you give it a unique name.

THanks.

Hello,

Also, I got more clarification. It needs to be farther out then just indicator.name.

Would want to follow the guidelines here:
