Feature or bug in Livecode's Data Picker Widget

Post by Simon Knight » Tue Jul 16, 2024 10:21 am

I have just added a two date picker widgets to my project and notice that changing either the year or the month does not trigger the dateChanged message.

Reading the dictionary I would expect the dateChanged message to fire when any part of the date is changed.
The message is sent when a date in the calendar is clicked. The parameter gives the selected date in the form YYYY-MM-DD.


When I use the widget on Mac OS and LC version 9.6.13 rc 1 the message only fires when a day value is clicked. So in your opinion is this a bug or a feature ?

Hi Simon,

well I'd say not a bug, but more an inconvenient feature since you do not actually change the (previously selected) date this way. :-)

Hi Klaus,

And yet the date has changed if the widget is interrogated using "the selected date".

Hi Simon,

oh, yes, confirmed!
Sorry, did not work with that widget for a long time.
OK, so this is definitively a BUG! :)
