How to set chart background color in indicator

[goWms]

I want to revise my custom NT7 indicator to work in NT8. How do I write code for NT8 to set the background color of a chart? Thanks

Hello goWms,

The background color of the chart can be found with:
ChartControl.Properties.ChartBackground

Thanks for the reply. Since I want to change UI properties using a custom script, what am I supposed to make of the following text at the top of the Properties Definition:

"Warning: These are UI properties which are designed to be set by a user. Attempting to modify these values through a custom script is NOT guaranteed to take effect."

Please advise. Thanks

Hello goWms,

Thank you for your response.

A user could have a preset they load after your script or they could manually change it. The call int he script to change the value may occur before the call to the UI properties when loading the workspace on start up and this could result in the need to right click in the chart and select Reload NinjaScript in order for your UI Properties to take affect.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
