Color Parameter for rendering

[ballboy11]

I know how to create color parameter for an indicator

private Brush pAskColor = Brushes.Red;
[XmlIgnore()]
// [NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Ask Color", GroupName = "Line Parameters", Order = 1)]
public Brush AskColor
{
get { return pAskColor; }
set { pAskColor = value; }
}

// Serialize Color object
[Browsable(false)]
public string pAskColorSerialize
{
get { return Serialize.BrushToString(pAskColor); }
set { pAskColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
}

BUT HOW do you do it for rendering?


SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush customDX1BullBrush = new SharpDX.Direct2D1.SolidColorBrush(RenderTarget, SharpDX.Color.Green);

Hello ballboy11, thanks for your note.

It is more convenient to make a WPF brush object as a property then convert it to a SharpDX brush in code. You can do this with the ToDXBrush method:
