Access to NT Color Picker

[JohnSteinberg]

Hi,

Is it possible to use the color picker used by NT8 in the indicator setup page from a custom XAML page?

I have a custom NTWindow that I show when a button is clicked in my custom indicator. On this window I would like to allow the user to choose a color from a drop down box and if I could just re-use the color selector already built into NT8 it would be a huge bonus!

Thanks for any help,
John

Hello everyone, that's exactly what I was looking for ;-) can anyone tell me how the colorpicker was integrated? I now have a button, this opens a new window. To my understanding. I now have to put the colorpicker in the .xml (if so, how?), or in the button .cs file.?

Hi, thanks for posting. I was not able to find any implementation of this BrushPicker, but you can add a color picker property to your script like this:

 [XmlIgnore]
        [Display(Name="Up direction Bar Color", Description="Price bar color when indicator is up", Order=41, GroupName="Actions")]
        public Brush BarColorUp
        { get; set; }

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

Hi _ChrisL, thank you for your answer, but unfortunately I don't understand what you mean, in your example it is a normal brush property.
