Forgot to add that if you want to move the order of your icons on a
toolbar, you should hold down the ALT key and then left click on the icon
and drag the icon to where you want it.

customised button in Time frame toolbar
Hi Abhijit,
If what you are wanting to do is put a button on the toolbar next to
where you have the 5 and 15 minute buttons, it can be done with a little
work. I've done it for 1, 3, and 30 min periods. Here is what you
should try:
1) Tools-> Preferences -> Intraday
and edit one of the custom time intervals to 240 minutes.
2) Right click on the view toolbar (next to your
5 and 15 minute buttons) -> select Customize -> select Commands Tab
-> select View ( in left column) -> select Intraday (in right column)
and drag (with right mouse button depressed) to the View toolbar (next to your
5 and 15 minute buttons)
3) Leaving the Customize/Commands menu open
(this is important as the next procedure won't work otherwise), now
click the Intraday button you just added and holding down the CTRL key
select the 240 minute time frame you created and drag it to the tool bar next
to your 5 and 15 minute buttons.
4) You now have a 240 minute button, however if you
want to change the image, do one of the following (keep the Customize/Commands
menu open):
a) to simply have 240 displayed,
right click on the 240 minute button and in the drop down menu edit the name
to 240.
b) to make a button which looks
like your 5 and 15 minute buttons, right click on the 240 minute button
and select Edit Button Image. The Button Editor will popup and you
can then draw your symbol for your button with pixels (or import one from a
clipboard or icon editor file). This is a little tedious and may be
difficult for 3 digits -- my 2 digit buttons for 10, 15, 20 and 30 minute
are tight when you put a circle around them, but they are color coded as
well.
Hope this helps.
Peace and Justice --- Patrick

Subject: [amibroker] Need a customised

I have added buttons for time frames
5 and 15 mins apart from the default 'i h d w m' buttons in the Tool bar for
Time fr5ames.
I want to add another for 240 minutes
(which is not amongst the options for customising).
Can someone help me to add this
button please? Image below to explain what I need.
Regards,
Abhijit
