Can I use datetime datatype as input parameter?

[hometradingblog]

Hi;
I am just wondering if I can use a datetime parameter as input parameter for an indicator? The dropbox in the wizard does not list it as being available.

Also can I define a dropbox with predefined values?

Thanks
Thomas

You would have to manually code it; the wizard does not provide an interface for it.

You would need an enum variable for that.

For a sample into enums, please see this one here - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3420

Will test the enum soon, implemented the datetime and works like a treat.
Thanks

Can you elaborate on the DateTime parameter? If I define a DateTime property how is it rendered in the UI? It is just a string? Do I have to parse the string to construct a DateTime object when setting the value?

Edit:
Ok just tried it. It displays a calendar picker, but no time component.
I see using a TimeSpan renders as a time in format hh:mm:ss
