NT8 color to Brush conversion with Opacity

[dj22522]

Hello dj22522,

Thank you for your reply.

This all looks correct - can you supply an export of the script so we may test on our end? You can export it from Tools > Export > NinjaScript Addon. Do not check the box to export as a compiled assembly or we will not be able to review the logic. Please attach the resulting .Zip file to your reply.

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Can I email you the zip file ?

If so which email address can I send to ?

Many thanks

Thank you for the reply Kate

Yes I have created inputs.

Assuming I've done this correctly I have the following :

protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults) :

 protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)

BackColourUp = Brushes.Blue;
BackColourDn = Brushes.Red;
BackgroundOpacity = 15; // 15% as default value

{

I then have the following in
else if (State == State.Configure)

else if (State == State.Configure)
{

Brush temp = BackColourUp.Clone();
temp.Opacity = BackgroundOpacity / 100.0;
temp.Freeze();
BackColourUp = temp;

Brush temp1 = BackColourDn.Clone();
temp1.Opacity = BackgroundOpacity / 100.0;
temp1.Freeze();
BackColourDn = temp1;


}

I have the following in Properties:

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name="Back colour Up", Description="", Order=3, GroupName="Back Colour")]
public Brush BackColourUp
{ get; set; }

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

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(Name="Back colour Down", Description="", Order=4, GroupName="Back Colour")]
public Brush BackColourDn
{ get; set; }

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


//Opacity
[Range(0, 100)]
[Display(Name="Back colour Opacity", Description="", Order=5, GroupName="Back Colour")]
public int BackgroundOpacity
{ get; set; }

What am I doing wrong ?

Many thanks

I've solved the issue of the indicator not saving after having applied the above code for Background and Opacity.

[XmlIgnore] was missing from the BackColourUp and BackColourDn Properties.


Here is the correct code:

Many thanks to nothingbutprofits for the original code and to NT Kate for being so responsive.


Enjoy
