[Category("MyCategory") Strange Behavior

[upshon]

Hi

I like to group my properties in Strategies into different groups using the [Category("MyGroup")] decorator above the property.

It works as expected when done in the Strategy class, however I have some global Properties that I have defined in UserDefinedMethods.cs. If I set the {Category("MyGroup")] decorator in this class I get strange results, some properties do not show up, others do.

However if I set the Category to the default "Parameters" they show up.

Anyone have any idea what I could be doing wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks

Mike

Hi Mike, are you working with NT 6.5 or the newly released NT 7 here?

Thanks,

I'm using NT7

For NT7 you would want to work with GridCategory instead of Category - would you then see the same issue?

Thanks Bertrand.

(sub)GridCategory

Hello Bertrand,

I'd have a question in this theme. when I create couple of properties in an strategy, and I open the strategies window I'd like to see the properties in various group. I can create an invidual group using the [GridCategory("etc. own group")], but in this gridcategory I'm going to create an subGridCategory. like this:



how can I create this? how can I control the opening/closing the main GridCategory and subGridCategory? I'm using NT7.

thanks in advance.
Tom

Tom, unfortunately creating subcategories would not be supported.
