Does anyone have a date picker widget in JSL (like https://jqueryui.com/datepicker/) that could be put into a New Window user dialog?

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.

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

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

);
