newwindow("date demo", d=numbereditbox(77,9,<<setformat(Format( "Monddyyyy h:m:s", 22, 0 ))));

when the number edit has a date format assigned, rolling over it with the mouse shows a blue triangle. Click the triangle.

JMP 11 and 12 comes with a built-in date picker for numbereditboxes:

nw = new window("Example Date Picker",

hlistbox(

textbox("Choose a date: "),

dteb = numbereditbox(0),

ok_button = button box("OK", date_value = dteb << get),

dteb << set format(format("ddMonyyyy")),

dteb << set width(12),

dteb << set(today()),

);

If this doesn't suit your needs I posted a calendar dialog box a while back in the file exchange, but it looks like it's been removed.

Adding onto Craig's answer, here is a "date_box()" that you can call to make it do that functionality as well. This also defaults to a date so it doesn't just blank out if you accidentally insert insert a character or something.

date_box = function(//makes a calendar come up on a numeditbox that is a little more robust

//Note, this only works on JMP 11+

{timething = Today()}, {newbox},

newbox = Eval(substitute(NameExpr(number edit box(timething, //Eval(Sub()) because of JMP quirk

10,//just need this because JMP doesn't default a width

<<Set function(function({self},{},

if(ismissing(self<<get),

self<<Set(Eval(DUMMY))//sets the date to the timething argument

)

)),

<<Set Format(Format("m/d/y h:m:s", 23, 0));//makes datetime format for the box (gives calendar)

)), EXPR(DUMMY), timething));

newbox;

);

then you can just :

nw = new window("Date Box",

date_box(), //defaults to now

date_box(Today()-5*60*60), // Set to 5 hours ago

);

Thanks for the quick reply from many pointing me to this built-in feature. I now see this is mentioned at Constructing Display Trees
