A date picker userform for Mac.

[mikerickson]

People have been inquiring about a Date Picker for Mac, so I came up with this userform.
The syntax for using it is

Dim uiDate As Double
Dim strPrompt As String
strPrompt = "Please enter the date of your choosing."
uiDate = macDate.Chosen(strPrompt, Default:=DateSerial(1919, 5, 3), Title:="Pick a Date", DefaultButton:=vbDefaultButton1)
'  all arguments are optional
' defaults prompt="Choose a date.", default=today's date, title="Choose Date", defaultButton=vbDefaultButton1
If uiDate = False Then
    Rem MsgBox "canceled"
Else
    MsgBox "You chose " & Format(uiDate, "d. mmm, yyyy.")
End If

The sub FillMacDateWithControls will take an empty userform, named macDate, and put the necessary controls in the proper place.

Very cool example. I'm surprised not any discussion after you uploaded. I found this with a google search for Mac Date Picker after I wrote my own for use within a form. Yours is a TON more comprehensive, and there is so much to learn in your demo. Thanks very much for sharing it!

Yes this is the most elegant out there... Forgive my ignorance, but could you tell me if this would work from another user form? And insert eh chosen date into a text box?Even if you can't answer, thank you.David

It should work from another userform.

I'm at work and can't test, but I would create a userform, with a command button, a text box and this code and see what happens.

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Dim uiDate As String    
    uiDate = macDate.Chosen    
    If uiDate = False Then
        MsgBox "canceled"
    Else
        TextBox1.Text = Format(uiDate, "mm/dd/yyyy")
End Sub

The userform that is the date picker must be named macDate.

Wow that was a quick reply! I was going to say don't worry because Ive solved it - using your form of course...Seems to work perfectly using an adapted version of your implementation codeTruly grateful for your generosity...David

Sorry to resurrect an old discussion, but I can't figure out why the user form provided my Mike resizes based on the location of the Cancel button. I downloaded the sample file, and am just looking to move the Cancel and OK buttons below the calendar vs. to the right of the calendar. When I do this, the with of the entire form automatically resizes to where ever the cancel button is located. Example: If i move the cancel button to below the calendar to the left, the width of the entire form shrinks (see attached image). Conversely, if I move the Cancel button way out to the right the form expands. Note: the OK button seems to have no impact on the form size.

I can't seem to figure out what's causing this. Any help would be appreciated.

... looking to move the Cancel and OK buttons below the calendar vs. to the right of the calendar. ....

Change this section in the Useform_Activate code.

With Me
        .Height = Application.Max(.butCancel.Top + .butCancel.Height + 10, frameUserEntryControls.Top + .frameUserEntryControls.Height + 35) + (.Height - .InsideHeight)
        .Width = Application.Max(2 * .frameUserEntryControls.Left + .frameUserEntryControls.Width, .butCancel.Left + .butCancel.Width + 10) + (.Width - .InsideWidth)
        .Tag = "shown"
    End With
