Multi-select enum

[FutureDragon]

Anyone has sample code for Multi-select enum? Simply adding [flag] before the enum definition doesn't work (Strategy only shows dropdown for single value selection). I know it's possible to create a type converter to do it, but what to know if there an existing way to do it.

The scenario is to select days of week for trading.

Hello FutureDragon,

I am not aware of a multi-select enum available in C#.

You could use a collection editor instead.

Chelsea, thanks for the reply. It looks the enum editor in the strategy analyzer is exactly what I want. I am wondering if it's accessible from custom strategy.

Hi, could you point out with a screen shot exactly the control that you are looking at? Im not aware of any Enum editor in the Strategy Analyzer.

NinjaTrader_ChrisL, here is the screen shot from the Strategy Analyzer, Optimization Settings:
This exactly the multi-select enum UI I was referring to. It can greatly simply coding: 1 single enum can replace 9 bool's. I guess there is a PropertyEditor or TypeConverter in the Strategy Analyzer, and it will be great you can look into it and see if it's OK to use it for custom strategy development.

Hi, thanks for pointing that out. This is a custom control in the strategy analyzer that has special code-behind that makes it work. Enums only have one selected value at one time, so you will need to use the first example linked by Chealsea to make something similar with boolean variables.
