    Getting Input Brushes Programmatically

    Hi,

    how does one get the brushes from the indicator input without explicitly calling them?

    Code:
    Color1 = Brushes.Orange;
    Color2 = Brushes.Salmon;
    Color3 = Brushes.SeaGreen;
    Color4 = Brushes.SlateBlue;
    Color5 = Brushes.MediumOrchid;
    Color6 = Brushes.MediumBlue;
    Color7 = Brushes.Black;
    Color8 = Brushes.Teal;
    Color9 = Brushes.Goldenrod;
    Color10 = Brushes.SaddleBrown;
    ...
    // I want to avoid this
    Brush[] brushes = { Color1, Color2, Color3, Color4, Color5, Color6, Color7, Color8, Color9, Color10};
    
    // I want this, this.Inputs is not the right one
    foreach (Brush brush in this.Inputs)
    {
      Print("this brush is: " + brush.ToString());
    }
    Also is it possible for a user to dynamically specify how many brush inputs fields they can choose?

    Thanks

    Hello Unsuitable,

    For custom inputs you make there is not a collection for those, you could instead make your own collection like you have shown to do that.

    If these are specifically Plot colors you could reference the Plots collection, for other brushes like you have shown the best approach is also what you have shown.

    Also is it possible for a user to dynamically specify how many brush inputs fields they can choose?
    Not as a Brush property but you could make a List and then create brushes from that. More than likely the best solution is just going to be individual inputs for simplicity. There is an example of creating more complex properties in the following link: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...r_to_custo.htm

    I look forward to being of further assistance.

      Yeah that's a whole can of worms that I don't want to open... I'll stick with a fixed number of brushes.
