Enum Parameter - Type converter

[afshinmoshrefi]

I have a parameter which I've used an enum for selection between several strings:

public enum TimeFrame
{
Day1 = 1,
Days5 = 2,
Week1 = 3,
Weeks5 = 4
}

I would like the parameter to instead display

Day 1
Days 5
Week 1
Weeks 5

How do I write a type converter to do this in Ninja?

Hello afshinmoshrefi,

The variable names used in an enum cannot contain spaces.

Instead of using enums, perhaps it would be better to supply a string and use an if statement to determine actions based on the value of the string.

I am using an enum for indicator parameter. My question is how can I use a separate string to be displayed in the indicator drop down instead of the enum members?

Hello afshinmoshrefi,

An unsupported method of doing this would be to use a list of strings that is added to a collection.

Attached is an example.

Hi,

I have written a custom enum converter to do exactly this. It is a little bit complicated but can be done.
