Getting Input Brushes Programmatically

[WestonMicah]

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 WestonMicah, thanks for your post.

The number of brush inputs must be defined at compile-time, there is no way to dynamically add brush inputs. You can make a Brush public property like so:

        [XmlIgnore]
        public Brush DownColor { get; set; }

        [Browsable(false)]
        public string DownColorSerialize
        {
          get { return Serialize.BrushToString(Dow nColor); }
          set { DownColor = Serialize.StringToBrus h(value); }
        }

To know the color of the brush you would just compare DownColor against a pre-defined brush.

Please let me know if this does not resolve your inquiry.
