password language

If I want to include a password in my custom indicator, how would I write it?

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

I wanted to ask, what specifically do you mean by include a password with the indicator?

Are you asking how to include a system to check if a user enters a specific password into a field in the indicators properties?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I want to force the user to enter a password in indicator properties to use the indicator.

So I guess my answer to:

Are you asking how to include a system to check if a user enters a specific password into a field in the indicators properties?

... Is yes.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for confirming that.

For a text entry, you could use the folllwing syntax:

	
private string password;
[Description("Enter a password")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public string Password
{
	get { return password; }
	set { password = value; }
}

How you implement this would be up to you. One way could be to check against a predefined value or:

if(Password == "SomePassword")
{
  //allow my logic to happen. 
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
