Button to Hide/Show Pivots.

[ser-E]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a Hide/Show button to my pivot EFS but no luck...

I attached the pivot EFS and some botton efs that I'm trying to play with... (Maybe this button is not suitable for what I want)

Please help me with how to make this.

Kind Regards,

ser-E

This is not a new study suggestion!

There is bunch of pivots EFS files with this function, I just dont know how to put it to my pivots.

The message created in the right forum.

ser-E, Hi
I was doing some button work so have added one to your floor for you, and make a few other changes, still a "work in progress" perhaps, but does the job

// ser-E post, with Dave180 edits to add button, and some efficiency changes....
function preMain() {
    setPriceStudy(true);
    setStudyTitle("Floor");

    // vPP
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_SOLID, 0);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(0,0,0), 0);
    setDefaultBarThickness(2, 0);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES, 0);
    // fR1
    setDefaultBarStyle(PS_DASH, 1);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.RGB(0,0,255), 1);
    setDefaultBarThickness(2, 1);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_FLATLINES, 1);

Dave180,

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate that.

It look's like it's working good, Why did you say that it's still a "work in progress" ? What's need to be fixed in your opinion ?

Kindest regards,

ser-E

... Only because I wouldn't like you to think all my code gets left looking like that!

It works agreed, I would want to clean up the code to check for further efficiencies and "harmonise" it for ease of future maintainability, that's all.

Glad it helps.

Dave
