ACSIL: Use Date Range

Can you please add a way to set the chart's Use Date Range via ACSIL similar to sc.DaysToLoadInChart?

I am trying to go through a replay of the charts by loading 3 or 4 years of data and any change I make such as drawing a VBP from Tools is taking a while to calculate studies while the replay is running or while it is stopped. If you are able to add this functionality I can just set the dates for the chart via ACSIL and minimize the data loaded by the charts.

Thanks.

If this request needs a lot work for the implementation, can it be added to your long-term queue please? Thanks.

Can you please add this to your queue. To summarize, I am looking for something like
sc.StartDate
and
sc.EndDate
to be available via ACSIL. Thanks.

Yes, this is on our list. We are going to be getting back to working on this soon. We will see if we can prioritize this particular item.

What is the best way to know when this is implemented? I was thinking that looking at the ACS_Source\sierrachart.h file towards the end of file for something similar to sc.StartDate would work.

Thanks.

The chart properties image is attached. Chart data dates are set to April of this year. The chart reloads as expected every 15 seconds based on the following study. However, it doesn't set the new dates as expected (the study uses dates 42314 and 43320 which are both in November).
SCSFExport scsf_Test3(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{
  SCDateTime& lastLoad = sc.PersistVars->scdt1;
  if (sc.SetDefaults)
  {
    sc.GraphName = "Set Chart Dates";
    sc.AutoLoop = 0;
    sc.FreeDLL = 0;
    sc.GraphRegion = 0;

    return;
  }

  if (sc.HideStudy) return;
  if (sc.DownloadingHistoricalData) return;
  if (sc.UpdateStartIndex == 0) {
    lastLoad = sc.CurrentSystemDateTime;
  }
  if ((sc.CurrentSystemDateTime - lastLoad) > 15 * SECONDS) {
    sc.ChartDataStartDate = 42314;
    sc.ChartDataEndDate = 42320;
    sc.LoadChartDataByDateRange = 1;
    sc.FlagToReloadChartData = 1;
  }
}

Your thoughts please.

No difference in behavior if I change the last "if" block to as follows:
  if ((sc.CurrentSystemDateTime - lastLoad) > 15 * SECONDS) {
    sc.ChartDataStartDate = 42314;
    sc.ChartDataEndDate = 42320;
    // sc.LoadChartDataByDateRange = 1;
    // sc.FlagToReloadChartData = 1;
  }

It still reloads every 15 seconds but the dates don't change to the November dates.

We tested this block of code and it worked just fine:

  if (sc.Index == 0)
  {
    sc.ChartDataStartDate = 42314;
    sc.ChartDataEndDate = 42320;
    sc.LoadChartDataByDateRange = 1;
  }

Okay, now I tested with a brand new chart with just this study. It worked as you indicated. Then I added a volume study to this chart. It stopped working. Finally, I moved my setting dates study to the bottom in the list of studies and the chart worked as expected. I am suspecting something is off when the study is not the last one in the list of studies.

Thanks.
