[Mindset]

Hello
I am trying to get the dateTime of a clicked bar.
I have used slotTime from your help files but it seems to be giving a different time.
Can you tell me where I am going wrong?

thank you

Hello Mindset,

Thank you for your post.

You're using the wrong value to get the time. GetTimeByX is looking for the X coordinate and you're giving it a bar index. Try this instead:

slotTime = chartControl.GetTimeByX(clickPixelX);

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Much appreciated Kate. Thank you.
