NT8 Equivalent - Order.Info

[thomaspartyof10]

I cannot find the equivalent for Order.Info in NT8. Any pointers, thanks.

Hello thomaspartyof10,
Thanks for your post.

That would be unsupported in NT7 so there would be no equivalent in NT8. Maybe another member of the community knows more.

What information are you trying to access exactly?

I was using it to leave a custom string I could check later in the process and change if needed. Is there somewhere I can leave a string hanging out on the order? Thanks!

So after looking into this I believe I see why Order.Info is no longer available. IOrder in 7 was a container they created to hold the actual Order. In NT 8 we now have access directly to the Order object. So, I suspect the work around here is simply to create your own container for the Order object and add whatever items you want.

Help Guide - Order

You could make a struct that holds an order object and a string.

Edit: I initially thought you could use the Pair class as well to accomplish the same thing, but upon closer inspection I do not think it would work.
