Hello,
Is it possible to use data containing milliseconds precision?
If so, what time format should i use (i tryed everything i could imagine, but nothing worked...)?
(My data is on the following format: "10:05:11.490")

Which data provider, is it ASCII? In this case, take a look at the Standard/Custom data formats pages from MSDN. There's a link in the User Guide, Data > Data Manager > Create New DataSet > Data Providers > ASCII. If appropriate format can be found is MSDN, then it's possible.

That's good, but i still couldn't do it;
The appropriate format seems to be "hh:mm:ss.fff", but it isn't working (i write this format on the format's input, but apparently it ignores the milliseconds when creating the bars);
Any idea of what should i do?

Indeed, it looks that Wealth-Lab is ignoring the milliseconds when creating the bars. So, it does not seem possible to use the milliseconds precision with the ASCII provider. Maybe others too, I haven't checked -- it's too exotic to be useful.

Is "ignore" the right word? These data are converted to a DateTime data type so for sure milliseconds are preserved.

I just tested it after creating a Tick ASCII DataSet with this bar of data:

Prints this:

I stand corrected. They are ignored by the chart popup which does not display milliseconds.
