Or constructor with days:

CTimeControl timeControl(false, true, true, false, false, false, false);

Or constructor with array of days settings and arrays for trading times in every day:

bool     arrDaysSetting[7] = { false, true, true, false, false, false, false};
int      
arrStartHours[7] = { 0, 15, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0};
double  
arrStartMinutes[7] = { 0, 15, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0};

CTimeControl timeControl2( arrDaysSetting, arrStartHours, arrStartMinutes, arrStopHours, arrStopMinutes);

For get/set parameter of every day u can use functions with ENUM_DAY_OF_WEEK index for day what u want to set/get:

bool bMonday = timeControl.GetDay(MONDAY);

timeControl.SetDay(MONDAY, true);// enable monday
timeControl.EnableDay(MONDAY);   // enable monday
timeControl.DisableDay(MONDAY);  // disable monday

int iStartHour, iStopHour;
double
dStartMinute, dStopMinute;

timeControl.GetTradingTime(MONDAY, iStartHour, dStartMinute, iStopHour, dStopMinute);

or you can check every day with defined functions:

bool bMonday = timeControl.GetMonday();

timeControl.SetMonday(true); //enable monday
timeControl.EnableMonday();  //disable monday
timeControl.DisableMonday(); //disable monday

 Main function for check if trading time is enabled (use current server time)

if ( timeControl.IsTradingTime() == true )

{
   //do something
}

else

{
   //do something
}

or you can check your own datetime:

datetime date = D'24.02.2015 12:30:27'

if ( timeControl.IsTradingTime(date) == true )
{
   //do something
}
else
{
   //do something
}
