Main Features and Hints

For creating new standard widgets ...
... Choose from menu Object/New Widget or
... DoubleClick the Date icon in Tools.
... Dragging from Tools does NOT work (is an IDE bug),
OR use it, without creating, as popup.
Use as popup widget (a modal dialog), see also the sample stack:
You have to give at least one argument: The date to display as year, month, day. Optionally you can give 33 more properties (of which 10 are colors and 8 are styles for different eparts). Especially can you
- set the naming to english, system or custom,
- start the week on saturday, sunday or monday,
- see the lunar phase of the picked date and
- scale the widget to 80-280% (done by affine transform).
For the standard widget you have 36 options available (additionally grabbing and a default pickerScale for use in the property inspector).
After installation of the widget and restarting LiveCode find detailed help in the dictionary.
