Is there a way to replicate the functionality of these buttons programmatically through the API?

I want to put into my indicator an option for a button so that when someone clicks on the button it will open up the parameters window.

Thank you.

Hi,

No, you can't, there is no way to re-initialize an indicator programmatically.

Please create a thread under suggestions section for this feature if you want to.

Just to confirm because maybe we're using different terms, I don't want to reinitialize the indicator per-se -- I just want to be able to display the indicator settings window programmatically. The user could close it without changing anything.

I don't think re-initializing occurs unless a user actually changes a parameter or setting in the pop-up config window before closing it or clicking "okay"?

Hi,

Sorry, you are right, the indicator is re-initialized only if user change some parameters or load more historical data.

Regarding showing the parameters window programmatically, there is no way to do it right now.
