NOTE: This code assumes that you are going to always use US style dates... It needs to be made more general to cope with UK/European dates i.e. DD/MM/YYYY not just MM/DD/YYYY I have made a start .... but I am going to bed now.

I recently needed a datefield widget but didn't want to include the whole iwidget package. So, I just took the iwidget datefield code and modified to work under tcl only.
}
#!/bin/sh
# The next line is executed by /bin/sh, but not tcl \
exec tclsh $0 ${1+"$@"}
package require Tk

#
# Implements a datefield entry widget ala Iwidget::datefield
# by Keith Vetter ([email protected])
#
# Datefield creates an entry widget but with a special binding to KeyPress
# (based on Iwidget::datefield) to ensure that the current value is always
# a valid date. All normal entry commands and configurations still work.
#
# Usage:
# ::datefield::datefield .df -background yellow -textvariable myDate
# pack .df
#
# Bugs:
# o won't work if you programmatically put in an invalid date
# e.g. .df insert end "abc" will cause it to behave erratically
#
# Revisions:
# KPV Feb 07, 2002 - initial revision
