Indicator painter and errors in charting in designer

I'm trying to use a custom indicator in designer and use the indicatorPainter to display it. I assume it can be done, but the helps are not real clear. I have the indicator returning a SingleIndicatorValue<ValuesClass> where ValuesClass is a class that contain the multiple values to chart (values for 6 lines)
In the strategy, I have
ChartElementForIndicatorPainter = new ChartIndicatorElement();
ChartElementForIndicatorPainter.IndicatorPainter = new ValuesClassIndicatorPainter();
This is as far as the help gets me. It doesn't even say where this should go. I added it to the strategy initialization.

In the OnStarted method I add it to the chart
chart.AddElement(area, ChartElementForIndicatorPainter);

But then in the "OnProcess" method, when I call
NewIndicator?.Invoke(indicatorReturn);
It gives me 2 errors.

In debugging it externally, it never hits the breakpoints of the indicatorpainter, though I don't know if it ever would anyways. It obviously is not using the painter if it is trying to change the class into a decimal.

Is it possible to use the indicator painter with the designer? How do you hook it up? The helps are pretty sparse about this.

Hello

Currently, Designer support custom indicator (and their painter) only via app.config file. It means you need extract your code into dedicated assembly and add into Designer.exe.config the following code:

Code
<customIndicators>
    <indicator type="ChartElementForIndicatorPainter, MyAssembly" painter="ValuesClassIndicatorPainter, MyAssembly" />
</customIndicators>
