Clicking the button opens the trade dialog like

After closing the dialog, the name of the selected trade is displayed as the button text and the ID is assigned to the parameter.

Syntax

<Parameter>
<Name>TradeID</Name>
<Text>Trade</Text>
<Value>0</Value>
<ValueType>Integer</ValueType>
<ValueDialog>Trade</ValueDialog>
</Parameter>

Optional tags

If the PythonPart should be localized, the following tag must be added

<TextId>1001</TextId>

Sometimes it’s useful to disable or hide the button depending on the value of another parameter. This is achieved by adding additional tags to the parameter or by defining functions in the py-file. See Enable and visible options

The persistent state of the parameter can be changed by adding

<Persistent>…</Persistent>
