"CommandLine": any one has experience on how to use it?  [SOLVED]

Hello

I just saw a function "CommandLine". How can I use it to control the scale of a given chart form a given workspace?

The goal is to control the scale from a command line created in Excel.Is it possible?

Is the command line could be sent from an external application?

Is the command line could be sent from an external application?

Commands can be typed in manually. If you have an application that fills the forms automatically then I believe it can be used. We have not tested such scenario. Command line functionality can also be accessed from the code.

Is it possible to select # bars back to be charted. I did not see this option on the reserved word.

Only From-To request is supported.

I tested fill an Excel cell with a string like 10 Minutes, copy to clipboard and CTRL V to paste it to the command line box. It work

For the # of bars back, I just found
Reloads a specified number of days/weeks/months back
int ResSize ResName

While I do succeed to use single command line to change instrument or time frame, I did not succeed yet to create a command with more than one setup. My command line is interpreted has a chart to load and no data is found.


What would be a command line to get the actual chart
Load last 3 days with a resolution of 1500 ticks

< From=2014/09/02, to=2014/09/05,res=1500 ticks >


Is the reserved word "bref" , back reference is valid only for # bars back for an indicator. Could it be use for # bars to display an instrument. I use this to prevent overloading MC when I use a very low time frame.

I finally did succeed
My From / to date format was wrong and I add .csy dnum=1

.csy dnum=1, res=1500 ticks, from=09/01/2014, to=09/05/2014
