hiding output properties

[Shai Samuel]

Hi, I have a need to hide some input and output properties based on some input properties. I mastered the Dynamic Properties to control the visibility of the input properties using IndicatorBaseConverter.

public override PropertyDescriptorCollection GetProperties(ITypeDescriptorContext context, object component, Attribute[] attrs)
{[INDENT]PropertyDescriptorCollection propertyDescriptorCollection = ...[/INDENT]
 }
​

Is there a way to control the output properties (exposed public [Browsable(false)][XmlIgnore] public Series<double>...)?

Hello Shai Samuel,

Thank you for your reply.

What is the intended use case here? If they're not user inputs we wouldn't expect them to show up in the UI. Do you mean that you want that public series to not be public based on user input?

If you mean you want to dynamically change access modifiers on a property or attributes on a property, that would not be possible, however, you could simply set that series to null if you're not going to use it based on user input.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Thank you Kate,

The indicator expose a few datasets using public series. I would like have different datasets exposed, based on the input params. For example, if an input param request HTF (bool UseHTF), I would like to expose the relevant HigherTimeFrame dataset that the indicator calculate. If the UseHTF is false, I would like these data sets not to be exposed.

This is something which should be set based on the input params, so it will not change dynamically during OnUpdate, but only at the loading phase of the indicator.

If this is not possible, it's OK.

Hello Shai Samuel,

Thank you for your reply.

Changing whether the series is public or private based on user input would be changing it dynamically and would not be possible. You'd just have to set any unused series to null.
