Changeable Color

[photog53]

I have succeed in creating a Ninja 7 indicator that creates a "moving average channel" (using DrawRegion) with semi-opaque gray channel between the SMA High and SMA Low. (thanks to the forum threads!!!)
I cannot however, seem to create a place in 'Parameters' or 'Plots' for a way to change the color of the channel. I tried creating a public entry to return a System.Drawing.Color value....but that has not worked. Can you point me to an example of code where someone has created a way to select color from the "Indicators Screen" for the channel??

NOTE: I did successfully create upper and lower 'Plots" for line colors.

Hello,

Thanks for the prompt replies!! I'll take a look.

Did you get it figured out?

Yes...(thanks so much!!!) It works well.
I am now adding code so the indicator can select a variety of "moving averages" and paint a High/Low channel for each of them depending on selection. After it is tested, I will upload the indicator to the Ninja forum for anyone who wants it can use it.
(This indicator may have been done before, but I'd like to offer it in return for all the info I've received over the last several months from this site)

Sounds great!

I posted the completed Ninja 7 version of this indicator on the "sharing" portion of this forum. I will put a Ninja 6.5 version out later as well. Thanks again for all the help.
