Custom bar, input value as double?

[raffu]

Hi, I can create a custom bar and change the name of value

SetPropertyName("Value", "Own Input");

but how to get input as double value for custom bar (currently it is int but if something like 0.5 would be needed)

Hello raffu,

Thanks for your question.

Inputs for BarsTypes will be fixed for the existing properties, which are all integer types.

You could try converting that integer to a double inside the BarsType code, but we would not be able to add our own custom properties to the BarsType.

We have an enhancement request to allow creating custom inputs in a BarsType (Further than what can be done with SetPropertyName and RemoveProperty) and I have added a vote on your behalf.

The ticket ID is SFT-1269. This is an internal number, but for anyone else wishing to have their interest tracked, please let our support staff know that you would like a vote added for this request.

Feature Request Disclaimer

We receive many requests and cannot reasonably implement all requested features or changes. Interest is tracked internally and if enough interest is tracked, it would be weighed against how feasible it would be to make those changes to consider implementing. As such we cannot offer an ETA or promise of fulfillment.

When new features are implemented, they will be listed in the Release Notes page of the Help Guide. The ID number will be different than the internal feature request tracking ID, but the description of the feature will let you know if that feature has been implemented.

Thank you. (That SFT number was useful)
