OK, Since there have been many to help me with my coding issues, Here is a simple give back. I've attached a screen shot, .cpp source file, and compiled .DLL which can be added to your Data directory.

I've modified the ClockRealTime to now allow text to be added to the end of the display. I call it MyClockRealTime. I have include source as well as the prebuilt DLL. This is my first time offering code. It can be added to User Contributed Studies, or used to modify the built in original - if SC chooses to do so. Basically all I did was change the name of the DLL, Study and Graph Name. Then add an additional input [9] for the text and added 1 line of code to add the text to the original string.
--> RemainingTimeString += Input_MyTimeZone.GetString();

Hope this helps,
JohnR


// The top of every source code file must include this line

#include "sierrachart.h"

// This line is required. Change the text within the quote
// marks to what you want to name your group of custom studies.
