TimeSpan parameter default value not set in OnStateChange

[javier.filgueira]

Hi,

In a custom indicator there is a TimeSpan parameter (pStartTime) to which I try to assign it'sdefault value in OnStateDefault this way:

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = "Lateral of the session (Defined by relevant volume)";
Name = "LATS";
IsOverlay = true;
IsSuspendedWhileInactive = true;
IsAutoScale = false;
DrawOnPricePanel = true;
pVolRelevante = 7200;
pStartTime = TimeSpan.Parse("09:30:00");
AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, "MaxLatS");
AddPlot(Brushes.Transparent, "MinLatS");
}

But when opening the Indicators window for the first time after starting NT8, its value is not set. It has the value "00:00:00" assigned.

When typing manually any value, then, when returning to the Indicators Windows, it shows the assigned value.

Any idea about this behaviour?

Thanks.

Hi Javier, thanks for posting.

The property must be serialized so it can be saved to an XML file for future use. See here for an example.

Kind regards,
