Show Time display on map

Hi,

I need to be able to show the time display on the map. I can check the box in the time slider options that says "show time on map
display" but I was wondering if there is a script that can perform that function without having to open the time slider window manually in arcmap.

I tried clicking the the apprearance tab, which opens the Time Text Appearance box, I tried to give it an element name so I can call it in a python script but I couldn't get it to work.

Is there a way to do that in script?

Thank you,

Courtney
