You can also view the enumeration in code form:

enum ChartDateTimeFormatCategory
{
  xtpChartDateTimeGeneral,
  xtpChartDateTimeLongDate,
  xtpChartDateTimeShortDate,
  xtpChartDateTimeLongTime,
  xtpChartDateTimeShortTime,
  xtpChartDateTimeMonthAndDay,
  xtpChartDateTimeMonthAndYear,
  xtpChartDateTimeCustom
};

Remarks

DateTimeCategory uses values from the ChartDateTimeFormatCategory enumeration to tell the chart how to handle the formatting of DateTime values in labels. The category must be specified so the correct formatting is applied to the value. This is used when the ArgumentScaleType is set to xtpChartScaleDateTime. The formatting can be set to General, Short Date, Long Date, Short Time, Long Time, Month and Day, Month and Year, or Custom. For Custom, the format uses DateTimeFormat.
