Set Range of Bar Type Property

[aslane]

I would like to be able to set/reset the range constraint on one of the integer properties in a custom BarType. For example, allowing zero or a negative value. It would be nice to have something similar to SetPropertyOrder() (i.e. SetPropertyRange(min, max)). How can this be accomplished?

Hello aslane,

As the properties are created behind the scenes, this would have to be accomplished with custom logic.

You could ensure the value is set to a value within your own custom range as the script starts. For example if i wanted between -5 and 5.

myValue = Math.Max(-5, Math.Min(5, myValue));

This would return which ever is smaller, the variable value or 5 (as the upper bound) and will return whichever is larger, the variable or -5 (as the lower bound).
