Can I use a \n character in an indicator Property ??
Can I have a "\n" character in a string variable that I set using Ninjatrader indicator properties?
Ex:
private string entryText = "Entry\nPrice";
DrawText(..., entryText,...);
+Properties
[GridCategory("Screen Text")]
[Gui.Design.DisplayName ("Entry Price")]
public string EntryText
{
get { return entryText; }
set { entryText = value; }
}
The issue is that if I have a "\n" character and I do not escape it with another \ then it does not appear in the properties. If I escape it then it prints as "Entry\nPrice";
Is there a way around this apart from offsetting with two DrawText statements?

Easiest would be to have two properties and then add the newline in code, then DrawText. Alternatively you could use some character as placeholder for the newline and substitute it for the newline in code.
