DashStyle.Style enum?

[duck_CA]

tying to include an option in the "Parameters" section of the Indicator Window to select the DashStyle options along with the Color options that I already have which work correctly

duck_CA,

Unfortunately this is outside the scope of what we can offer support for. Thank you for understanding.

[duck_CA]

No Problem

I understand Josh...Ninja has been extremely helpful and appreciate it...

Can you tell me if this is even possible?

Thanks again

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Technically, yes, but unfortunately I just don't have any information on how you could proceed to realize it though.

[duck_CA]

Thanks Josh

where this is a will...there's a way...lol

DashStyle is an enumeration, is that true, duck_CA? If so, wouldn't an enumeration serialised by the C#- compiler automaticaly? I thought so. Have you tried just to define a property for your dash style to see, how it works?

Thanks Ralph

Sorry but I can't seem to understand what you mean as this stuff is very challenging for me...

I need somehow to try and do what you had mentioned but not sure where to start

thanks

[Ralph]

I understand. In the reference sample section is an example, how to define an own enum to be used with the property grid. I would try to install it and to modify it for your dash style.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Ralph !

[Ralph]

If you don't get it working that (simple) way, post it again. We will find a solution.

Ralph...
Thanks for everything...This seems to work
