No dialog after askForInput() call

[RogerL]

Hi

Sure there is a simple answer...

I am calling askForInput in the code snippet below. However, no parameter dialog appears.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Roger

----------

function preMain() {

var x;

//initialize formula parameters
x=0;
//define limit for stop
aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "Limit", FunctionParameter.NUMBER);
with( aFPArray[x] ) {
setName( "Stop out (points)" );
setLowerLimit( 1 );
setUpperLimit( 40 );
setDefault( 10 );
}

setStudyTitle("Test");
setCursorLabelName("Test", 0);
setPriceStudy(false);
setDefaultBarFgColor( Color.blue, 0 );
setShowTitleParameters( true );
askForInput();
setComputeOnClose();

}

To my knolwedge you need to have a main function with the FunctionParameter name in its arguments for the dialog box to display (see the enclosed revision of your code).

var aFPArray = new Array();
function preMain() {
    var x = 0;
    aFPArray[x] = new FunctionParameter( "Limit", FunctionParameter.NUMBER); 
    with( aFPArray[x] ) { 
        setName( "Stop out (points)" ); 
        setLowerLimit( 1 ); 
        setUpperLimit( 40 ); 
        setDefault( 10 ); 
    }
    setStudyTitle("Test"); 
    setCursorLabelName("Test", 0); 
    setPriceStudy(false); 
    setDefaultBarFgColor( Color.blue, 0 ); 
    setShowTitleParameters( true ); 
    askForInput();
    setComputeOnClose();        
}
 
function main(Limit){
}
