Parameters in UserDefinedMethods

[ij001]

Hi there

I added a bool method to Parameters in my UserDefinedMethods.cs file.

private bool iShowOnly = false;

[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
publicbool ShowOnly
{
get { return iShowOnly; }
set { iShowOnly = value; }
}

Since UserDefinedMethods.cs is public it shows in Parameters for all indicators. I only want to use it with a couple of indicators not all of them. Is there a way to restrict to which ones?

Btw - I can't put the code just in the indicators I need because the methods I use are coded and referenced in the UserDefinedMethods.cs file...

Thx
Irvin

Are you wanting this bool to show up on the parameters grid of only some indicators not others?

Or are you just wanting some indicators to have the ability to access this bool?

The former ... Some indicators.

Unfortunately i'm not aware of away to only have these public defined parameters show up on only some indicators grid.

The only thing you would be able to do is create a public bool which could be accessed by the other indicator code directly, however you wouldn't be able to change this parameter from the Grid parameters.

public bool iShowOnly = false;


We will leave this thread open in the case another community member has experience in this area.

Hi Matthew

I got it to work another way.

I added a boolean input into my method that is referenced from the indicators that need it.

In UserDefinedMethods.cs:
public bool MyMethod(bool iShowOnly)
if iShowOnly = false
// do something from before
else
// do something less

Calling the method in the indicator: if MyMethod(ShowOnly) == true
