Thanks for the link, which was very interesting. There is a quite deep
insight there about what made Hypercard so inviting, and why LC is so
accessible. Its not just drag and drop, its working directly with the thing
one is making. Of course you still end up typing a lot of text, but these

Because it is legitimately a date expressed in seconds?
convert 10 to long date
= Wednesday, December 31,
why not have the engine do it for you - use convert to convert the possible
date to whatever format you're expecting. If it the answer isn't the same,
then you don't have a date.

Yeah. Unless you require a year or something, that'd work.

You know, after all the dicussion here, I'm not sure any of the options
are better than "x is a date". The one exception may be that any integer
is considered a date. To get around that we could just check that there
are 3 items delimited by slashes before testing for "is a date".

Just shared a new widget. Works in LC 8 (8.1.5ff) of LC 9 (9.0.0ff).

The widget runs as "ordinary widget", sending a message "cholorChosen "

Hi,
Does such a text « 99/99/00 » exist ?
You can also always say that it is possible that « 15/10/17 » is not a date in
a certain context
Now seriously if the function returns a valid date, you can test afterwards the
result to see if it can be something else than a date.
Now i’m not enough

2) Create a small rectangle graphic with no fill
(rectangles without fill is the default style)
3) Paste this script into the image:

Imagine a stack with a picture of an orange in its centre . . .
The picture: img "arancia", contains the following script:

And how, pray tell, would one have "stuff" in a LiveCode standalone to
tell the OSes to which LiveCode
deploys to alter their key repeat rates?
