Apply My Indicator Changes from a Popup

[icebergdelphi]

Hello, I made a data exporter, by Hours, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, everything works fine for me, but I made a window that I added to the bar so I could have a shortcut and not go to the properties of my Indicator, but I want to know how I apply the changes from my Export button, that is, 1.- If in my properties window of my indicator I have selected the export mode type: Hour and if I go to my window (Step 2) and - I select my export mode, for example Daily and 3.- when clicking on Export my export should be executed in Daily mode, not in Hour mode, and I want that change to be saved, but it does not work for me since in the properties window of the Indicator the Daily Mode that I previously selected actually appears in my pop-up window but the export is still in Hour Mode, my question is when you click on Apply are those changes saved somewhere? and how can I solve my request? thanks

Hello icebergdelphi,

Below is a link to an example of returning a value from a popup addon window back to the originating host.

If the property in the Indicators window is showing the correct selected value, this would mean the logic within the script may not properly be using that value.

Add debugging prints to understand the behavior. When the button is clicked, print the computer time and the value of the property. If there are conditions in the click event handler method, print all values in the condition with labels for each value and comparison operator.

Thank you, of course I use Print to see what is happening, I had already seen the example you mentioned but it is not very commented to see what each part of the code does, thank you very much I will continue looking for information

Hello Again @NinjaTrader_ChelseaB I think my question is how can I save the changes I selected in my combobox that is inside my custom window? I mean, when you go to the indicator properties and click Apply, is that what I want to do? Are the changes saved in an XML or somewhere else? Thanks.

Hello icebergdelphi,

The addon window sets the indicator variables InstrumentValue, IntValue, and StringValue on lines 98 to 106.
In the indicator these variables are using the XmlIgnore() attribute to prevent these from being saved.
Remove the XmlIgnore attribute from the int and string variables, for these to be saved in xml, and serialize the instrument for this to be saved.

[XmlIgnore]
[TypeConverter(typeof(NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.InstrumentSelector))]
public Instrument InstrumentInput
{ get; set; }

[Browsable(false)]
public string InstrumentInputSerialize
{
get { return InstrumentInput.FullName; }
set { InstrumentInput = Instrument.GetInstrument(value); }
}
