Current Month Name mql5 - page 2

[Fabio Cavalloni]

We already helped you providing the code you wanted for retreiving Month name based on month number...

But we can't implement the whole code for you. There is the Freelance section for this kind of requests.

Seems you don't know how to use ObjectSetString command, this can help you.

thank you, that's enough for me, exactly, I didn't know it existed, I didn't want the whole code, just to show how to display the current month text label

ObjectSetString(0,"Month",OBJPROP_TEXT,  "Month Profit / Loss" +DoubleToString(dayprofywm,2)+"  "+AccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_CURRENCY)" "+ );

correction, I know what ObjectSetString is, but I don't know how to add + current month text  to the end

Problem solved, in case it's useful to someone in the future

   long time_now =TimeCurrent();
   MqlDateTime time;
   TimeToStruct(time_now, time);
   uint month= time.mon;

Which problem have you solved, as that code simply provides the number of the month, it doesn't solve your first question of how to make it a text representation of the month, nor the second of how to add the text value to the label ?

Of course, a programmer would do it better, but it's enough for me if it works

    if (month == 4) 
   
   {
   
 
   ObjectSetString(0,"Month",OBJPROP_TEXT,  "April : Profit / Loss  " +DoubleToString(dayprofywm,2)+"  "+AccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_CURRENCY));

   
   }

assuming you set an int value for the month to the variable month, use this function so you only need to code ObjectSetString once

ObjectSetString(0,"Month",OBJPROP_TEXT,  TextMonth(month) + " : Profit / Loss  " +DoubleToString(dayprofywm,2)+"  "+AccountInfoString(ACCOUNT_CURRENCY));


string TextMonth(int month)
{
   switch(month)
   {
      case 1: return "January";
      case 2: return "February";
      case 3: return "March";
      case 4: return "April";
      case 5: return "May";
      case 6: return "June";
      case 7: return "July";
      case 8: return "August";
      case 9: return "September";
      case 10: return "October";
      case 11: return "November";
      case 12: return "December";
      default: return "Month Error";
   }
   return "Month Error";
}

perfect, thank you very much, of course I would never have come up with your solution in my life
