How to set sc.ChartDataStartDate and sc.ChartDataEndDate with ACSIL

Hi!

In the documentation provided here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/ACSIL_Members_Variables_And_Arrays.html#scChartDataStartDate, for me it is unclear how to set the start and end date on the Chart throught ACSIL, if
sc.LoadChartDataByDateRange
is set to 1.

The part
If this is set to 0, then the earliest date available in the chart data file is loaded into the chart.
is clear.
But I am missing the part about a non-zero value.

The type of the variable is integer. How does that correlates to the start date? Should I set it to a number of days since a given date?

Best regards, thanks in advance,
Sandor

Did you already try getting date part of datetime variable?


auto dt = SCDateTime(2024,1,1,0,0,0);
sc.ChartDataStartDate = dt.GetDate();

Not yet, I will definitely try and give a response if it works.
The main goal of the post is to ask for clarification about the documentation.
