Using a TypeConverter to Customize Property Grid Behavior

[Rainmakersg]

Hi, please refer to this sample indicator:

Can I find out why the indicator stops working when I move it to a folder?

Hello Rainmakersg,

Thank you for your post.

Can you please provide more specific information about how the indicator stops working?

Are you getting compile errors, or errors in the Log?

What specific unexpected behavior are you encountering?

I look forward to your response.

Hi, the indicator allows the user to customize the properties of the indicator (5 use cases). When it is installed as it is, the properties will act accordingly. But when the indicator is moved to a folder, the properties of the indicator will not behave like they were supposed to. Example, the toggle no longer works and locked text is no longer locked.

If you repeat the above steps described, you should be able too see what I mean.

Hello Rainmakersg,

Thank you for your response.

Did you edit the namespace the TypeConverter is pointing to to match the folder?

[TypeConverter("NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators. MyConverter")]

At the top of the Indicator class, this needs to be edited so it points to the folder you moved the indicator to.

[TypeConverter("NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Indicators.YourFolderName.MyConverter")]

Thanks. It works.
