DashStyle Enum

[TAJTrades]

I am experimenting with some different options. This is more of learning issue than anything else.

I am trying to create a DashStyle Enum by:

private TestRect_DashStyle myDashStyle = TestRect_DashStyle.Solid;

Properties
[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "DrawStyle", GroupName = "General")]
public DashStyleHelper MyDashStyle
{
get{return myDshStyle;}
set{myDashStyle = value;}
}

public enum TestRect_DashStyle
{
Solid,
Dash
}



set{myDashStyle = value;} is throwing error:
Cannot implicity convert 'NinjaTrader.Gui.DashStyleHelper' to TestRect_DashStyle'. An explicit conversion exist (are you missing a cast?)

What am I missing? Or is there a better way to do this.
The plan was to use it like:
MyStroke = new Stroke(Brush, MyDashStyle, MyWidth);

Thanks.

Hello TAJTrades,

If you are creating your own enum, then you would need to make your public variable the same type as the enum.

public TestRect_DashStyle MyDashStyle
{ get; set; }


If you are not trying to create your own enum and use the existing DashStyleHelper class, then use this and don't attempt to return a private variable of a different type.

[NinjaScriptProperty]
public DashStyleHelper MyDash
{ get; set; }

Then MyDash can be used in your script.
