Hiding Input Series selection or Making it read-only

Hi, if custom indicator cannot have input series determined by user, what are the ways to hide it or disable it? Code can ignore it, of course, but users would be confused when they change input and nothing changes.

Please advise.

Tried already but it's obsolete in NT7: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ad.php?t=29648

This is actually quote problematic for NT vendors in case indies use something pre-defined - you have to let users know about it and see them puzzled as to why YOU didn't hide that then. It makes NT 3rd parties products look unprofessional.

Uh oh. Come to think of it, I had noticed that myself some time back and had wanted to raise a query, but I guess that I got too busy to remember.

The least they can do is either put a note in the documentation, or else remove that instruction and its verbiage entirely.

Hi guys, unfortunately Josh's note from the other cited thread would still stand, I will forward a suggestion to clarify the docs in this regard.

Thanks Bertrand, would you mind putting this as feature request for both NT7 and NT8? I know that NT7 is most likely a no go, but it'll give more weight for NT8 list.

Sure, added to the suggestion list - once I have a tracking # I will update you.

Hi,

Why don't you add the following to the indicator, maintaining the semantics and hiding it from the browser:

[Browsable(false)]
[XmlIgnore()]
public IDataSeries Input
{
get { return base.Input; }
set { base.Input = value; }
}
