saving user variables in workspace

[shooter]

Support,

In an indicator, if one wants the user input variable(like bool,color,double,..etc) to be saved,how should one define it in properties section of the code? So, that when the chart is saved in a workspace and when NT is restarted,it shows up with the same user input values.

How about if it needs to be saved in the "chart template" as well? So,that if another chat is created with the same template, it has same user input values (input values like Color,double,bool.,..etc)

Is there any sample code showing this?

Shooter, for example for user defined colors, proper serialization is needed in your custom code - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=4977

Thanks Bertrand for the Color serialization. Is there anything similar which explains how to do it for user inputs like Bool,double variables?

For user input paramters, please check into this tip - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=5782

Thanks for the link Bertrand. It explains on creating user input parameters. But it doesn't mention anything on how to serialize double/bool variables.

I tried creating some bool variables as "parameters" in the same way the link describes(but the link describes int variables) ,but they are not getting saved in workspace or template.

Do, bool and double variables need to be serialized like Colors?

They do not need to be serialized.

Thanks Josh. So, only type of variables that needs to be serialized are Color. Other variables need not be serialized for storing in templates/workspace.

Like double,bool etc,..for them to be stored in workspace/template, should be only defined under "Parameters" category or any other user defined category is fine?

Generally speaking that is correct.
