Cant get bar colors on indicator to save

[A Derpy Cucumber]

Hello, I am having trouble getting a bar color setting to save. When I save workspace, the bar colors for this indicator revert back to original once I close out of the workspace. Help!

Hi A Derpy Cucumber

If you serialize the Positive and Negative bar colours in Properties:

Add this after your "Positive Bar Color" at for example line 165

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

and then add this after your "Negative Bar Color" :

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

So you should then have this:

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[XmlIgnore]
[Display(Name = "Positive Bar Color", Description = "Color of bars with a positive value", Order = 5, GroupName = "RSI Histogram")]
public Brush PositiveBarColor
{ get; set; }

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

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[XmlIgnore]
[Display(Name = "Negative Bar Color", Description = "Color of bars with a negative value", Order = 6, GroupName = "RSI Histogram")]
public Brush NegativeBarColor
{ get; set; }

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

Hope this helps

Hello A Derpy Cucumber,

Thanks for your post.

dj22522 has provided some excellent information regarding this topic that you could review.

User-defined brush properties could be serialized so that the values are saved when the workspace or indicator template is saved.

See the help guide documentation below for more information.
