I've written a program which will be run by someone who isn't an R programmer and isn't all that computer-savvy in general. The user starts the program and is prompted to input various information such as location of data files. I've used the Sciviews svDialogs package for this with good success. (although we're still ironing out tck/tk issues on some of his machines - with help from these archives :) .) My question is: is there a highly user-friendly way to prompt for user-entered dates? Currently I use a guiDlgInput box and instruct the person to use a particular format for the date. I'd love a package that let him click his desired date on a little calendar instead. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Suggestions-for-inputting-a-date-via-a-dialog-box--tp21237197p21237197.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
