Investment Studio > Views > Downloads > Toolbar > Month names

The downloader's data parser has the ability to translate month names to month numbers (e.g. "January" to 1). Standard three-letter English abbreviations are built in and always available as month set "US Jan-Dec":

Additional sets of month names can be added and modified using the Month names dialog:

To open this dialog, click the button in the Downloads view's toolbar.

Select month set using the spin buttons in the dialog's upper left corner. The set's number (displayed next to the buttons) is used to identify the set in format strings.

The set's name (next to the number) is used to represent the set in the user interface (e.g. in menu items) and to specify month set in the downloader's ActiveX interface method Aux.getMonthNumber.

To edit a field (set name or month name) simply select it and type away.

Click OK to commit to the edited month sets. Click to close the dialog and discard all changes.
