This software offers a simple yet effective solution for users who need to select dates through a drop-down calendar widget. It is convenient and efficient, saving time and reducing errors.
Upon opening the widget, I immediately noticed its resemblance to the BrowseEntry widget. However, rather than displaying a Listbox, the DateEntry widget presents a calendar with buttons for each date. The calendar also includes buttons for browsing through the months.
One of the most impressive features of this software is its ability to read the current content of the widget (-textvariable) and display the corresponding month/year upon opening. If the variable is invalid or empty, the current month is displayed. Additionally, if a one or two digit year is specified, the widget attempts to accurately guess the correct century by utilizing a "100 year window".
Overall, I found the Tk::DateEntry software to be reliable and user-friendly. Its intuitive interface allows for easy selection of dates, making it a great choice for anyone in need of a powerful and efficient calendar widget.
