A little help for my friends Simple Code problem

June 28th, 2018, 06:29 PM

I am attempting to rename a Bar Type and have run into a problem
Here is what I have done

I have made a copy of a NT provided Bar Type and am changing its name
All of this was done with the NT Editor
I made the following changes to the code
Within the NT editor I changed its name to MoesCustomBarType
Within the file I changed the Public Class to MoesCustomBarsType
and replaced every instance of the words Original BarType name to MoesCustom
I compile without error.
I restarted NT and tried to open a new chart with the new BarType. But it is not listed.

I receive no errors on screen and there are no errors in the log file.
I reopen the Editor and now there are 2 errors.
The errors read
NinjaTrader Custom.Resource 'does not contain a definition for 'NinjaScriptBarsTypeMoesCustom'
'NinjaTrader Data BarsPeriodType' does not contain a definition for 'MoesCustom'
And the errors point to these lines of code
protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Name = Custom.Resource.NinjaScriptBarsTypeMoesCuston ;
BarsPeriod = new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = BarsPeriodType.MoesCustom };
DaysToLoad = 3;

}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
switch (BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodType)
Can anyone give me a hand and direct me to a solution??
Thanks

there is more than just changing bar name; example of unirenko NT8

Code

		protected override void OnStateChange()
		{
			if (State == State.SetDefaults)
			{
				Description							= @"Universal renko bar type. Ported by Sim22, 2015. [email protected]";
				Name								= "UniRenko";
				BarsPeriod							= new BarsPeriod { BarsPeriodType = (BarsPeriodType) 501, BarsPeriodTypeName = "UniRenkoBarsType(501)", Value = 1 };
				BuiltFrom							= BarsPeriodType.Tick;
				DaysToLoad							= 3;
				IsIntraday							= true;
			}
			else if (State == State.Configure)
			{
				Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("BaseBarsPeriodType",			true));
				//Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("BaseBarsPeriodValue",		true));
				Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("PointAndFigurePriceType",	true));
				Properties.Remove(Properties.Find("ReversalType",				true));
				
				SetPropertyName("Value", "Tick Trend");
				SetPropertyName("Value2", "Tick Reversal");
				SetPropertyName("BaseBarsPeriodValue",  "Open Offset");
				
				Name = "UniR T" + BarsPeriod.Value +"R" + BarsPeriod.Value2; // +"O" + BarsPeriod.BaseBarsPeriodValue;
				/// I kept the UI name short b/c as of NT8b6 the name space at the toolbar is very short. You would not see the values. Sim22.
			}
		}

I can at least explain the exact error you hit.

If you type NinjaTrader.Custom.Resource. at this point after the (dot) you should see a window pop up with all the available options that you can select that belong to the NinjaTrader.Customer.Resource class. If you then type something that does not exist within this, you will hit this error message. So it sounds like whatever it is that you are building, you need to get it into this class.

Here are a few links to get you started:
