Format DateTIme String in DrawText for min and seconds
I'm trying to format a DateTime string in a DrawText object. It compiles but doesn't do any special formatting.
DrawText("BarTimeDn", String.Format("{0:m mm}",ElapsedTime),-2,Volume[0]/2,Color.Black); // Write BatTime to chart In the attached picture you can see the output is of the form: 00:00:00 - or hh:mm:ss. I actually want mm:ss. The variable "ElapsedTime" is a TImeSpan variable. Is that the problem? Does the String.Format() only work on DateTime variables? regards, taddypole... |

Yes Taddypole, I believe you would need to convert the Timespan first to DateTime and then could apply your String.Format customizations for display.
