not responding when choosing indicators menu

[gartonrd]

My NT7 is going into "not responding" mode when I right click on a chart and pick the indicators menu selection

I created a brand new chart in an empty workspace and still have the problem. I was in the process of writing a new indicator, and was trying to install it for the first time.

Deleting _Workspaces.xml did not help.

I have rebooted my computer, repaired the database, and restarted NT.

Any Ideas?

Hello gartonrd,

Thank you for your post.

Problem Solved

Problem Solved by removing call to subroutine in Initialize() routine.

Apparently this is not allowed and causes this weird behavior.

Compiler did not flag this problem.

Of course the compiler would not complain.

The help file/documentation is explicit.

Initialize()



Definition
The Initialize() method is called once when starting a strategy. This method can be used to configure indicator and strategy properties.

For example:



· Strategies - Call the Add() method to add indicators to charts and to add additional Bars objects to the strategy

· Indicators - Set configuration properties such as Overlay and PaintPriceMarkers

· Although this method is called once on the start of an indicator or strategy, there are times that this method is also called (Opening an indicator dialog) when you may not expect it to. FOR ADVANCED PROGRAMMERS, DO NOT USE THIS METHOD TO RUN CUSTOM ROUTINES SUCH AS OPENING FORMS, MAKING EXTERNAL CALLS SUCH AS A LICENSE CHECK. PLEASE USE OnStartUp() FOR THOSE PURPOSES.

infinite loop

Well, turns out the routine I was calling contained an infinite loop.

That explains a lot.
