Error on changing the time period of a strategy

[Smilie10]

I have a strategy that allows me to activate the time period where it can place order automatically when a valid signal is generated, yet everytime when I try to change the "from" and "to" time range, it returns an error "An error occurred i the application" and I have the choice to continue, restart or close the application. My programmer tells me that it can't handle string.

Hello,

Does your programmer uses this procedure

RegOption('Timeframe', ot_TimeFrame, Timeframe);

for timeframe selection?

Or he uses som other procedure? This can be the reason of the issue.

Can you please send a source code so we can try to find the reason of the issue in code?

Hi,

Here is the source code from my programmer.

var

FromTime: String;
ToTime: String;

procedure InitStrategy; stdcall;
begin

RegOption('FromTime', ot_String, FromTime);
FromTime:= '08:00:00' ;

RegOption('ToTime', ot_String, ToTime);
ToTime:= '22:00:00' ;





procedure GetSingleTick; stdcall;
var

ToTime1 : TDateTime;
TimeNow : TDateTime;
Comm,formattedDate : string;


begin

FromTime1 := StrToTime(FromTime) ;
ToTime1 := StrToTime(ToTime) ;

DateTimeToString(formattedDate, 't', TimeCurrent);
TimeNow := StrToTime(formattedDate) ;

Thanks.

Hello,

Please try to set

FromTime: PChar = nil;
ToTime: PChar = nil;

instead of

FromTime: String;
ToTime: String;

If this doesn't help then please try

FromTime: PANSIChar = nil;
ToTime: PANSIChar = nil;

unfortunately, it doesn't work. The same error message as before. Please advise, thanks.
