How to add customer property in customer indicator

[Rutvika Khot]

Hello,

I am facing problem while adding properties in custom indicators, which should show a button in it's value part in NT8.
This is done in NT7, using UITypeEditor

[EditorAttribute(typeof(PictureEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))]

But the same code is not working in NT8.

Kindly help in this regard.

Thanks and regards,
Rutvika

You would use the PropertyEditor.

Hello Rutvika Khot,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the forums!

Member Koganam has provided a good reference.

Here is an example of the same:

		[Display(ResourceType = typeof(Custom.Resource), Name = "File Name", GroupName = "NinjaScriptParameters", Order = 0)]
		[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.FilePathPicker", Filter="Wav Files (*.wav)|*.wav")]
		public string FileName
		{
			get { return fileName; }
			set { fileName = value; }
		}

Custom properties in indicator

On click of a button (for e.g. "Choose File..."), I want to open my form instead of File Open Dialog Box.

Thanks Koganam and Ninjatrader_Paul for reply.

Thanks and regards,

Hello Rutvika Khot,

Thank you for your response.

You would need to find the Menu's automation id in State.Configure and then add a button to the grid. Unfortunately, there is no built in function do this and it would require custom programming a button to the grid.

convert property with UITypeEditor

Is there any progress on this?

How to convert property that used UITypeEditor in NT7, and open a custom editor?

Does nt8 support this now?

Hello everyone,

Custom property editors would not be fully supported at this time. The suggestion is being tracked under ID # SFT-655.

Hello Patrick,

"Custom property editors would not be fully supported "

Hello dotnet,

There is currently no supported means to create custom property or grid editors.
