PrintTo = PrintTo.OutputTab2 doesn't work

[itrader46]

Hello

I'm trying to print the outputs of a custom indicator in the tab 2 of the output window, but the code in SetDefaults doesn't work, as the the prints are still printed on window 1.

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
     PrintTo = PrintTo.OutputTab2

Hello itrader46,

Thanks for your post.

Here is an example you can replicate that demonstrates sending the Print to OutputTab2.

        protected override void OnStateChange()
        {
            if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                                    = @"Enter the description for your new custom Indicator here.";
                Name                                        = "PrintToExample";
                Calculate                                    = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                IsOverlay                                    = true;
                DisplayInDataBox                            = true;
                DrawOnPricePanel                            = true;
                DrawHorizontalGridLines                        = true;
                DrawVerticalGridLines                        = true;
                PaintPriceMarkers                            = true;
                ScaleJustification                            = NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart.ScaleJustification.Right;
                //Disable this property if your indicator requires custom values that cumulate with each new market data event. 
                //See Help Guide for additional information.
                IsSuspendedWhileInactive                    = true;

                PrintTo                                     = PrintTo.OutputTab2;
            }
            else if (State == State.Configure)
            {
            }
        }

        protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {            
            Print (Time[0]+"  CB: "+CurrentBar);                
        }

I removed the indicator and reapplied it, then it worked. First time I only refreshed it with F5 and didn't work

Remember it. It is important. It has messed me up a number of times. Usually if you change an internal NT parameter in SetDefaults, you will have to remove the indicator, and then add it back, for the change to take effect.
