I wish to create a rectangle box on my chart in AMIBROKER which changes color according to time i.e from 9:40 to 10:00am its color remain green and after that it changes to blue.

GfxSelectSolidBrush( colorBlue );//for rectangle color

x = 1050;
x2 = x-180;
y = 130;
GfxRectangle(x, y - 70, x2, y);//for displaying rectangle on chart

Also if rectangle box could move up and down i.e 9:40 to 10:00am value of y should be equal to 90 and after that it becomes 130 again.

I dont know if i m asking something stupid... But if it is possible then plz help..

In fact, that is easy.

I wonder why you did not get an answer so far.

You will have to use NOW().

Now(4) return the current time in TIMENUM() format.
I also can't post links yet.

So:

if( now(4) >= 094000 and now(4) <= 100000)
{
Ret_color = colorGreen;
y = 90
}
else
{
Ret_color = colorBlue;
y = 130
}

GfxSelectSolidBrush( Ret_Color );//for rectangle color

x=1050
x2 = x-180;

GfxRectangle(x, y - 70, x2, y);//for displaying rectangle on chart
