Make Color a Selection for BackColorAll

[daven]

I hve an indicator which changes the background color of the chart for a bar which is statistically a very high volume bar. Right now I simply apply the indicator this way,

BackColorAll = Color.LightPink;

I would like to make the color selectable when the indicator is applied. I tried using a
string variable, UpCBar

private string upCBar = Color.LightGreen;

The problem is I don't know what the syntax for a string variable is in the properties section and so far I've been unable to find any example of one.

        [Description("")]
        [GridCategory("Parameters")]
        public string UpCBar
        {
            get { return upCBar ; }
 [U]           set { upCBar = Math.Max(1, value) ; }
[/U]        }

Specifically what should the underlined line in the code sample above look like?
Thanks for your help.

Hello daven,

Thanks for your post.

Rather than using a string you can use color as an input selector. This is detailed with a working example here: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=4977
