Group Order Attribute for strategy user interface

[johnMoss]

I've read the library but its vague on the placement of the order attribute.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ryorderattribu te.htm

Objective: Organize the Strategy User Interface by ordering different parameters as usual & then organizing these groups in an order other than the default.
And yes, I did see they warn its not supported...

Example:

"Base Parameters"

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

"Targets & Stops"

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

"Indicator Settings"

Item 1
Item 2
Item 3

I am of course referring here to the Properties section:


region Properties

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[Range(1, int.MaxValue)]
[Display(Name="Contracts", Description="Contracts Placed", Order=1, GroupName="Base Parameters") ]
public int Contracts
{ get; set; }

Hello johnMoss,

Are you referring to the CategoryOrder attribute?

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/categoryorderattribute.htm

This attribute is applied to the class and can placed one line above the class declaration.

The help guide page has a code sample. I've adapted this to your category names.

[Gui.CategoryOrder("Base Parameters", 1)] // display "My Strings" first
[Gui.CategoryOrder("Targets & Stops", 2)] // then "My Bools"
[Gui.CategoryOrder("Indicator Settings", 3)] // and finally "My Ints"
public class MyCustomIndicator : Indicator
{
}

Thank you Chelsea,
Yeah the library links have changed & hence there exist a lot of either dead links or non-specific relevant copy when doing general internet search. The link you just gave is the good one.
Gracias
