Calculating Time in Volume Bars

[RedDuke]

I am using volume bars and need to calculate how long is current bar being printed in real time. One way is to calculate is to do it manually by substrcting start time of bar from curren time. But is there a method or system variable that already doing this?

Thanks,

- there is no support for start time of a bar
- I would calculate the difference between the time stamps of the current and the previous bar like (pseudo code)

if (CurrentBar < 2)
    return;
double difference = Time[0].Subtract(Time[1]).TotalMilliseconds;

Thanks Dierk,

I meant to say End of a bar. I thought that I would need to calculate the difference, but just wanted to double check.

TotalMilliseconds Resolution

I have tried to display bar timestamps in Milliseconds and calculate TotalMilliseconds for elapased time between bars but the values returned are always in seconds. Is this a data vendor restriction? I am using Zen-Fire. Are there any vendors that timestamp their data in Milliseconds and if so who are they? Thanks.

Not that I know of.
