Mike,
Short answer is yes.
I have a rather complex interaction between AFL, AutoIt, and the open
Preferences window open to the Intraday tab to be able to change time
settings from AFL. I use one each of the custom settings for Constant
Range, Volume, and Time chart settings.
I have made suggestions for giving AFL direct control over chart
timeframe settings. I hope Tomasz will eventually provide that.
Here is the hack AFL from my system that works for now. Perhaps
someone else has a more elegant solution. This one routine is the
only reason that I still use AutoIt with AB.
BR,
Dennis
//================================================================
// AUTO TIME/VOLUME/RANGE BAR SETTING
// the bar time information must be faked by using
// autoit to enter the data into the intraday preferences (must be Open)
function SetIntradayPreferencesText( fieldID,Text )
{
autoit.WinActivate( "Preferences", "" ); //change the preference
success = autoit.ControlSetText( "Preferences", "", fieldID, Text );
if(!success)
{PopupWindow( "please open intra-day preferences", "Operation
Failure Notice", timeout = 10, left = -1, top = -1 );}
else
{success = autoit.ControlClick( "Preferences", "",
"[CLASS:Button;
Text:&Apply; INSTANCE:11]" );}
return Success;
}
SetIntradayPreferencesText( 1028,NumToStr( desiredVolumeBar, 0, 0 );
SetIntradayPreferencesText( 1027,NumToStr( desiredRangeBar, 0, 0 );
SetIntradayPreferencesText( 1023,NumToStr( desiredTimeBar, 0, 0 );
