Input Parameters for Day & Time Variables

[Gianpiero]

Hello!

I need to know how to create input parameters in NinjaScript properties that allow inputting a date, not just a time. I have to input both a day and a time in my indicator.

I don't know NinjaScript or C# adequately enough to do it alone. I once saw a NinjaScript indicator showing how to code this, but I can't find it again.

Any hint about it? I don't mind getting my hands dirty coding; It's the best way to learn.

Hello Gianpiero,

You can use the following property to generate a date picker plus time entry. The time is typed in where as the date is selected.

[NinjaScriptProperty]
[PropertyEditor("NinjaTrader.Gui.Tools.ChartAnchorTimeEditor")]
[Display(Name="MyDateTime")]
public DateTime MyDateTime { get; set; }

Great! That's exactly what I needed

Hi Jesse,
How do I save a value for this variable? I tried to assign a value like this in SetDefaults: DateTime myDateTime = 120000; OR myDateTime = 120000;

Neither Worked...

Hello whiterhino,

If you are using a DateTime property you need to make a new DateTime to assign it like you are. What you are using is an int which is not the same as a DateTime.
