Parameter Color default

[ct]

I want to specify a default color for a rectangle color parameter I have defined. It works but I have to select a color first.

Ninja doesn't like: "RectangleColor = Colors.Blue;"

[XmlIgnore]
public System.Windows.Media.Brush RectangleColor { get; set; }
[Display(Name="RectangleColor", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]

[Browsable(false)]
public string BrushSerialize
{
get { return Serialize.BrushToString(RectangleColor); }
set { RectangleColor = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
}

Also in the parameters the color picker shows under a "Misc" GroupName and not "Parameters" even though I specified a "GroupName="Parameters")]"


Ninja 8.0 colors are going to be the death of me of me yet I just know it.

Hello, thanks for writing in. The NetChangeDisplay indicator has an example you can reference:

        [XmlIgnore]
        [Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "PositiveColor", GroupName = "NinjaScriptIndicatorVisualGroup", Order = 1810)]
        public Brush PositiveBrush { get; set; }

        [Browsable(false)]
        public string PositiveBrushSerialize
        {
            get { return Serialize.BrushToString(PositiveBrush); }
            set { PositiveBrush = Serialize.StringToBrush(value); }
        }​

In State.SetDefaults, this is set to PositiveBrush = Brushes.LimeGreen;

Juliet, Just curious. Where on the planet are you located? I am in New Zealand.
