iLow() or iClose() and String?

[fly7680]

hello at all, it is possible to replace the ilow () function or iCLose () with a string?
I tried so but does not work:

extern string CloseHigh ="iLow"; // Switch iLow or iClose

CloseHigh(0,0,1)); //iLow(0,0,1)); or iClose(0,0,1));

Create a dropdown list:

enum functions
  {
   ILOW,  // iLow
   ICLOSE // iClose
  };
extern functions function = ILOW;

Then use a switch statement to use the correct function: 

   double value = 0;
   switch(function)
     {
      case ILOW:   value=iLow  (_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,0); break;
      case ICLOSE: value=iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,0); break;
     }

honest_knave thanks, I will study this solution .. it was what I needed!!!!

honest_knave hello, I entered the function, but unfortunately the switch does not work! The editor does not error. I display properly in external parameters function to change iLow or iClose but also changing iLow or iClose, the code reads only iLow.

You'll need to post up your code so I can see how you implemented my code.

I put in my condition in this way:

// Global scope
enum functions
  {
   ILOW,  // iLow
   ICLOSE // iClose
  };
extern functions function = ICLOSE;

//in OnCalculate
double value = 0;
   switch(function)
     {
      case ILOW:   value=iLow  (_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,0); break;
      case ICLOSE: value=iClose(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,0); break;
     }


if(iOpen(0, 1+I) > iLow(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,3) && function < iLow(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,3))

1. Function is 0, 1, 2.. You use it in the switch. you want value < iLow.
   
2. Alternate

   extern ENUM_SERIESMODE function = MODE_LOW;
   double get_price(int iBar){
      double a[]; ArrayCopySeries(a, function);
      return a[iBar];
   }

Excellent, now it works ...
Thanks again!!!!

whroeder1:

1. The switch is fine. Post your code (The enum, the external, the switch.) There are no mind-readers here.
   
2. Alternate
   

   
   

Nice alternate.
