Collapsed Properties

[andrew56]

This sounds like it should be simple, but the answer eludes me.
Is there a quick easy way to have the Property sections display "collapsed" as opposed to "expanded".... (see the attached screen grabs "this" and "not this").
Thanks........

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

The default indicator properties will only be controlled by the platform, so for those, it would not be directly possible.

For custom properties in your indicator, these are controllable.

Any class that has the attribute: [CategoryDefaultExpanded(false)] will display its properties as collapsed.

This is applied at the class level so it applies to all properties that can be collapsed:

[CategoryDefaultExpanded(false)]
public class Test : Indicator
{

I look forwad to being of further assistance.

Hi,
This does not work in NT 8.0.22.2 on Windows 10. Any other way to achieve this.

Hello AnkaS,

There is not any supported means to control that, the property shown in post #2 is not a documented property so it may behave poorly depending on the use case.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hello,
Correct way to do this is:-

[Gui.CategoryExpanded("Custom", false)]
public class Test : Indicator

This may or may not work sometimes, especially if any template is saved it don't works. Usually working with new indicators fresh without any templates.
Hope it helps!
