How to set a custom parameter
How to set a custom parameter
15 Jun 2017, 18:06
Hello ,
I would like to set a custom property. It works when I want to assign a single string like below:
[Parameter(DefaultValue = "MyCustomValue")]
public string MyParameter{ get; set; }
Actually I want to be able to select a value from a drop down list of my custom values out of self defined string array.
Like string[3]={MyValue1,MyValue2,MyValue3}
I could not find a way to to this. Apparently I need to create a new custom type.
Does anyone have an idea how to achieve this goal?
Taco

Thank you cyfer for your respond. I was blaming my novice skills on c# but apparently cAlgo is the cultprit. Pity that a user cannot modify such small aspect with a powerful tool as c#.
I have noticed that already in 2014 this feature has been requested but spotware has not reacted yet. If some other users would like to have this feature they can vote here:

use enumerations types
like this
public enum CustomType
{
Low,
Medium,
High
}
[Parameter("P1", Group = "new type", DefaultValue = Low)]
public CustomType P1 { get; set; }
read this like for more information:https://w3schools.com/cs/cs_enums.php

You set a Custom Parameter exactly like you did
You just test it in Initalize
[Parameter(DefaultValue = "MyCustomValue")] public string MyParameter{ get; set; }and in Initalize you test it
switch(MyParameter) { case "MyCustomValue" : do something break; case "MyCustomValue2" : do something break; case "MyCustomValue3" : do something break; default : do something break ; }However , The list thing is not currently possible
