Custom Building Block: Transaction Weight

I am working on a custom BuildingBlock which should work similar to the "Transaction Weight" block.

It is going to be a ConditionBlock. It should generate some code after the PlaceTrade() statement as "Transaction Weight" does:

CODE:
_transaction = PlaceTrade(bars, TransactionType.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0, 0, "...");
_transaction.Weight = weight[index] * -1;

I can't find any explanation how this can be accomplished in the API documentation
(https://www.wealth-lab.com/Support/ExtensionApi/BuildingBlock)

Any hints?

All Buy and Short signals return a Transaction to a local _transaction variable, so Transaction properties can be assigned in the GenerateTransactionCode virtual method. Here's the code for Weight -

CODE:
        //transaction specific code
        public override void GenerateTransactionCode()
        {
            string mult = Parameters[1].AsString == "Lowest Values" ? "-1" : "1";
            ParentEntryExit.MainCode.Add("_transaction.Weight = <weight>[index] * " + mult + ";");
        }
