Property Grid...

[funk101]

In my custom indicator, I would like to add a drop down list to a property so I use can select from 3 options. Can someone point me in the direction on how this is done please?

For instance:

[XmlIgnore()]
[Description("Description here")]
[GridCategory("Category here")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayNameAttribute("Display name here")]
public int MyProperty
{
get { return myProperty; }
set { myProperty = value; }
}

I need to create a property with drop down selections like I see in other NT indicators, Color values, etc.

I think you need to look into using an enum as the parameter. Here is a sample provided by Ninja:

That's cool, thanks. But my issue is that I need to return DataGridViewContentAlignment value of either:
MiddleLeft,
MIddleCenter,
MiddleRight

Not sure the enum can do that , at least i haven't figure it out yet. What say ye?

Hello,

Yes enum should be what you're looking for. For more details on its usage (in addition to the link already posted) http://www.csharp-station.com/Tutorials/Lesson17.aspx

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

Never imagined the enum can be used in that way. I am also confused with a similar C# property grid question, I read through the property grid tutorial but didn't find the good solution to my annoyance.

Hello xiaoyuandlg,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums!

That is a bit out of the scope that we can support here at NinjaTrader.

On different subjects like this you may want to start a new thread as well but I will leave this thread open incase a member of our Support Forums has worked with the "KetticPropertyGrid".
