Has anyone written a DatePicker script using AppleScriptObj-C?

[robertfern]

Would like to figure out how to write a Date Picker script to use the Cocoa built-in date picker.
If anyone could do it, Shane could. (Kissing butt here!)

I wrote it 6 years ago.

And…I packed it into “choose date lib” AppleScript libraries with sdef.

But Calendar picker is too small for latest Mac environment. So, I wrote some larger calendar pickers.

I wrote one in Swift

Date Events, a scriptable application which adds the missing «choose date» API

Like System Events there is no UI in Date Events (except the temporary date panel). It quits automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity. To choose a date is pretty simple set theDate to choose date which shows a graphical interface with date and time. You can set the style to textual and textual with stepper and there are a few options for the date and time appearance. Additionally there are some APIs to convert date to string and vice versa for custom string format/template and locale,…

Piyomaru,
Well, your lib is run-only and locked so we can’t see the AppleScript.

Also it only returns a list with 3 items representing the date but no time element.

It should return a date/time
