New Feature: Input Selection Property

New comment
 
This is an idea which might be useful. On property sheets, when you are asked to input an enumerant as a value the user can often be left guessing as to what it means. As an alternative to displaying numbers, why not make a drop down list display from which the user can make a selection. This would have the added advantage of restricting the input value to an index into the list. For example, in the code below, PriceMode would only return a value from 0 to 4. This idea could also be applied to the bool type, so we could have yes/no or on/off as an alternative to true/false.

#property input_selection1 "Yes, No"
#property input_selection2 "Close, Open, High, Low, Median"

extern bool MM = true;
extern int  PriceMode = 0;
 
This feature was scheduled but I don't know when it will be implemented
 
Thanks Slawa. Glad to know that it is at least on your list. It's not too critical, but helpful nonetheless.
 
I was also looking for a feature like this, that could allow a user to select from a drop down list with predefined values (strings, number or anything). I will look forward for it.

Regards,
Cleon
