Text_GetDate will return a value of -2 if the specified object ID number is invalid.

The date is indicated in the YYYMMdd format, where YYY is the number of years since 1900, MM is the month, and dd is the day of the month.

Usage

Text_GetDate(ObjectID)

Where:

ObjectID - a numerical expression specifying the object ID number.

Notes

An object-specific ID number is returned by Text_New when the text object is created.

Example

Assign a value, indicating the date of the bar at which a text object with the ID number of 3 has been placed, to Value1 variable:

Value1 = Text_GetDate(3);
