How to disable/lock properties of indicators?

[priceisking]

Hi,

I am writing a new indicator and want to disable/lock and hard code these properties so that users can't change them. Please let me know how to do that.. .can't seem to find a thread that shows this clearly.

Hello priceisking,
Thanks for your post.

You can hide properties from the indicators windows by setting the BrowsableAttribute boolean for that property to false

Do i have to list all properties individually or can i do it in 1 shot like this?

#region Properties
[Browsable(false)]
#endregion

I'm not able to compile with above .

That would need to be applied to each property individually.

For example:

#region Properties
[Browsable(false)]
[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Range(1, double.MaxValue)]
[Display(Name="MyAttribute", Order=1, GroupName="Parameters")]
public double MyAttribute
{ get; set; }
#endregion

Ok thank you. But I tried this with Label and it still shows up in the properties window allows modification:


[Browsable(false)]
[Range(1, int.MaxValue), NinjaScriptProperty]
[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "Label", GroupName = "NinjaScriptParameters", Order = 0)]
public string Label
{ get; set; }

You are not going to be able to remove/hide the Label property like this. That property is going to be visible on all NinjaScripts.

Oh OK. . .so default properties i can't hide. What about custom plot colors and other settings for plots?

You would not be able to hide plots with BrowsableAttribute either. For plots you would want to use ArePlotsConfigurable and set it to false.
