User input box

[UManiac]

All,

I am a programmer who was recently introduced to coding indicators

I am used to displaying data and receiving input from a user via a user input tool such as a message box.

My question is, is there such a tool when coding indicators? I would like to ask the user questions to gather the data and use it in a program but need to know the syntax of an input box.

a friend told me that what I am looking to do would probably require c# (which is no problem) therefore does anyone have any c# source code that I could look at to get an idea of how to gather user input via a dialog box?

conversely, could someone provide a link to a viable code source for NinjaScript?

any help is most appreciated

Thank you in advance!

UManiac,

What you want to do is open the Output Window under the Tools menu. Then to bring output into there, in your code just use Print("some string");
