trouble with input conversion

[Antny]

I am having a bit of trouble figuring out what I am doing wrong with an input conversion. Basically, I am using a string collection and type conversion to create a list of options the user can select. In Ninja 7 it works exactly as expected.

This is the code I am using in Ninja 7

internal class CLM : StringConverter
            {
                public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext itdc) {return true;}
                public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext itdc) {return true;}
                public override System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext itdc)
                {
                    return(new StandardValuesCollection(new String[] {"XC", "XA"}));
                }
            }

private int clm = -1;
                private string cyphIGL = "XC";
                [Description("")]
                [GridCategory("10 - Manual Drawing Parameters")]
                [Gui.Design.DisplayName ("2-2: Inverted Graystone Leg")]
                [TypeConverter(typeof(CLM))]
                public string Clm
                {
                    get { return cyphIGL; }
                    set { cyphIGL = value; }
                }

I have tried something similar in Ninja 8, but I keep getting this error message

Value of property 'cslt' of NinjaScript 'TE_ConstellationPro_v111_N8' is Fixed_Pip and not in valid range between 0 and 1.7976931348623157E+308.

Here is the code from ninja 8 that isn't identical

[NinjaScriptProperty]
                [Display(Name="Drawn Cypher: Stoploss Type", Description="Manual Drawn Cypher: Stoploss Type", Order=13, GroupName="10) Manual Drawing Inputs")]
                [TypeConverter(typeof(SLT))]
                public string cslt
                { get; set; }

Anyone have any idea why I keep getting this error message and how to fix it... without being forced to declare public enums? I tried using public enums, but then every time I started working on a new version, I had to remove the old version to get rid of the conflict.

Hello Antny, and thank you for your question. Could you send us a picture of the GUI settings you are passing to this NinjaScript file?

To send a screenshot with Windows 7 or newer I would recommend using Window's Snipping Tool.

Alternatively to send a screenshot press Alt + PRINT SCREEN to take a screenshot of the selected window. Then go to Start--> Accessories--> Paint, and press CTRL + V to paste the image. Lastly, save as a jpeg file and send the file as an attachment.

I just wanted to follow up on this post...apparently, I have a typo somewhere. I just slapped together a couple of rudimentary example indicators to provide relevant code examples, but there is no error in Ninja 8. Thus, I must have a typo in my indicator. lol

Regardless, I am going to post the code examples just in case someone else needs something similar to this type of input, but cannot use an enum for whatever reason.
