Error referencing Time[n] in OnMouseUp EventHandler

[palinuro]

I am getting a consistent ArgumentOutOfRange Exception whenever I reference Time[CurrentBar-n] in my OnMouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) EventHandler. "n" is less than CurrentBar, so it should be within range..

I don't have any problem working directly with the index numbers directly, but I need to store the values as DateTimes.

I was able to do this in NT7 without any problems. Is a different approach needed in NT8?

There is some rocket science used to ensure that the currentbar is always up to date when using a core event handler like OnBarUpdate/OnMarketData, etc. When you're using a custom method like in your OnMouseUp, the price series array may be unreliable.

You can either use the absolute index methods like GetTime(idx) which is the recommended way to go, or if you must use Time[idx] for whatever reason - you can try catching up the current bar array yourself, but this is not a documented solution.

		private void onMouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
		{
			// a very simplified way to sync the current bar
			for (int i = 0; i < BarsArray.Length; i++)
			{
				BarsArray[i].CurrentBar = CurrentBars[i];				
			}
						
			Print(Time[5]);
		}

thanks Matthew, i switched to GetTime() and it works fine.
