Feature or bug in Livecode's Data Picker Widget

[Simon Knight]

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!
