It is conceivable to code a new indicator for each option, but not exactly nice... <BR />I have had a look at the class file for UserDefIndicatorImpl but with almost no knowledge about Java I don't know whether there is no way to do it, or there is and I can't see it. <BR />What are my options?

If you have suggestions to do so, you may request this feature in our bugtracker. <BR />In your case, I would implement a default indicator with no option. Then for each option, I would create a subclass of this default indicator. These subclasses would work a bit differently according to the option they implement. <BR />I don't know if this solution can reply to your needs. How many options will you have?

It's been a while since I was a serious coder. <BR />Thanks for that.
