Using AddOn for configuring an indicator

07-13-2024, 09:41 PM

My indicator has a large number of parameters making it difficult for the user to configure. In addition, I'd like to implement some logic like if a parameter A set to a certain value then parameter B needs to be hidden as its value becomes irrelevant.

Does anyone have an example / guidance on using an AddOn for this purpose?

Hello LeonK,

For this type of situation you can use a type converter to control how the properties are displayed. There is a sample of manipulating the properties in various ways in the following help guide page.
