UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)

New page

{{LuaApi|group=LogDisplay}}
Sets whether a LogDisplay window prints the time in front of each line.

<pre>
LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp(displayName, show)
</pre>

== Arguments ==
;displayName : <code>string</code> – Name of a LogDisplay window.
;show : <code>boolean</code> – <code>true</code> to show the time.

== Returns ==
Nothing.

== Details ==
* The time is the local time the entry was added to its text log, as <code>[HH:MM:SS]</code>.
* When the value changes, the display rebuilds all its lines, so existing lines change too.
* <code>show</code> must be a real boolean.
* The function needs at least two arguments and only reads the last two. Any extra arguments placed in front of them are ignored.

== Errors ==
* <code>Error in function call 'TextLogSetShowTimestamp': Window %s does not exist</code>
* <code>Error in function call 'TextLogSetShowTimestamp': Window %s is not a TextLogDisplay</code>

== Example ==
From <code>ea_chatwindow/source/chatwindow.lua</code>:
<pre>
LogDisplaySetShowTimestamp( tabLogDisplayName, tab.showTimestamp )
</pre>
