check if input exists

[ttodua]

I was trying but cant find any way, to find the `user properties` element with IDE.

i.e. I want to get the list of Properties my indicator has (i.e. properties which is set by user in Properties window, like : SMA Length =14, or other typical properties of indi).

How to get that?

this.Owner.InputBindings

or which code access the those elements?

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your note.

Yes, you could use this.IndicatorName( and they should be displayed.

See the attached screens hot where I demonstrate this for the SMA.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Alan, I think there is misunderstanding.

In which variable/property I get all those input lists of indicator?

i.e.

this.SMA.inputs ?

or

this.SMA.properties ?

or?
(SMA has only `period` input, however, lets say an indi that has 5-10 different kind of user inputs).

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for the clarification, in this case there would not be a collection of properties that the user can set, the object would have properties in general but they would not be contained in a specific collection. You could research "C# how to find properties on an object" for further details on how to accomplish this. Finding properties on an object would not be specific to NinjaTrader but instead is a C# concept and with that would be outside of the scope in which I could provide further assistance.

Alan,
thanks, but YES, i know how to get all properties/fields


foreach(var prop in indicator_name.GetType().GetFields() ) { //or GetProperties()
Print ( prop.Name );
}


But I am interested, which ones are named with [Display(.....)] and percepted like user input. I am sure, NT does something, as it decides which parameters are shown in window. however, ok, not quite important for me at this moment, just wanted to check. thnxs

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your patience.

Attached an example of how you can pull the properties that Display. This does include additional properties outside the custom user defined input parameters.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
