Add User Defined Text to an assigned Label (Text String)

[johnMoss]

Almost feel like Oliver Twist with these types of questions but they are time-consuming as all get out to find when digging through the library ...

Objective:

I have an indicator that plots rectangles and they currently have assigned hard-coded text headers:

Draw.Text(this, "MyBox"+startDateTime,false, "MyBox name",startDateTime , highestHigh, 12, TextBrush, myFont, TextAlignment.Left,Brushes.Transparent,Brushes.Tra nsparent, 0);



The string "MyBox name" above I would like to create a user-defined text box in the indicator settings window such that the user can change it to whatever name is desired.

Clearly this is a 3 step process and I'm hunting down the correct syntax for it. So asking for a library link here.

Thanx!

Hello johnMoss,

If you wanted to make a user definable string you would need to make a public string property in the script.

public string MyString {get;set;}
