    The name DashStyleHelper does not exist in the current context

    Hi there all,

    I'm trying to add some drawing to a strategy I'm developing, and I want to draw a dashed line at a certain price, between bar start X and end Y. Here's what I'm currently trying as per the docs

    Draw.Line(this, "DRHighLine",false, Bars.GetBar(start), drHigh, Bars.GetBar(end), drHigh, Brushes.Green), DashStyleHelper.Dash, 5;

    However, I'm getting the compile error in the title of this post. Why can't I reference DashStyleHelper? Has it been removed from NT8 and the docs are just outdated? I'm looking at
    https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...?draw_line.htm btw, hope that helps

    Thanks

    Nevermind, was able to figure out that I didn't have the proper namespace declaration to use DashStyleHelper

    using NinjaTrader.Gui;

        Hello daveleonti1226,

        Please open any stock indicator and copy the using statements from the top of the file and replace what you have in your file. The namespaces in the stock files using statements are what would be required to avoid this error.
