Date box in Data Series window

[nicbizz]

Hi,

In my indicator, one of the user parameters is a Date entry. Right now, I'm using NT's ToDay() format ("20121001" for Oct 1, 2012).

I would like to know if there's a way to code in a proper Date box like the one that exists in the Data Series window for "Start date" and "End date"? (see attachment).

Would appreciate if anyone could assist, or at the least, point me in the correct direction for more research.

Thanks!

Hello Nick,

You may do something like:

#region Variables
            
	private DateTime myDateTime = new DateTime(2013,2,20); 
      
#endregion

 #region Properties
       	[Description("")]
	[GridCategory("Parameters")]
	public DateTime MyDateTime
	{
		get { return myDateTime; }
		set { myDateTime = value; }
	}
#endregion

Thanks JC!

Is there any way to make it default to the current day's date?

I tried

private DateTime myDateTime = new DateTime(DateTime.Today);

and that didn't turn out right

My C# skills are absolutely noobish, unfortunately.

Hello Nick,

private DateTime myTime = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year,DateTime.Today.Month, DateTime.Today.Day );
