Add new Line

[Zeos6]

Hi ,

Suppose I use the following in the Initialize() section:

Add(new Line(Color.Blue, myLevel, "levelBase"));

This works fine and sets the line at the value myLevel. myLevel is an input parameter. Here is the issue: if I open the indicator and change the value of the line through the indicator panel, the position of the line changes to the new value. I would like to prevent this; i.e. I want to disallow the user from changing the value inthe indicator panel. Can this be done? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hello Zeos6,
To clarify further if you do not wish to be value selected/changed then why on the first place you are setting it as a input parameter.

Hi,

To clarify: I want to be able to change the value through myLevel input parameter ONLY, not thoriugh the parameters in the indicator under the Lines section.

Hello Zeos6,
Thanks for the clarification.

Please append the below code to disable the Lines from showing up in the indicator parameter selection box.

this.LinesConfigurable = false;

Note, this will remove all the values (colors etc) and not just the input value for the line.

Perfect. I set the color, line width and style in code. Thank you very much.
However, now the myLevel parameter does not allow me to change the level setting. I just need to disable the value portion in the Lines.

Hello Zeos6,
To set a value via a custom input parameter please use the below code (say in OnStartUp event)

Lines[0].Value = myLevel;

That did the trick. Thank you for your help Joydeep.
